A former WWE NXT UK star is going through a tough time right now as they deal with a rare liver disease.
Millie McKenzie, who competed in NXT UK as Emilia McKenzie, hasn’t competed in almost a month since EVE 138. She took to social media this afternoon to explain her recent absence from the squared circle.
McKenzie posted the following emotional statement on social media today to announce she needs a liver transplant for a rare liver disease she’s been dealing with all her life, tweeting out:
“Thank you everyone for the kind words. I am now out of hospital.
“For those that don’t know, I’ve lived with a rare form of liver disease all my life. Unfortunately it’s progressed much faster than expected meaning I will continue to deteriorate until I receive a liver transplant.
“Because of this I have to completely cut back my wrestling schedule. Hopefully my liver will stabilise, which might allow to me continue wrestling in some form. I have to be extremely careful to not to push myself too much at the moment, while l’m trying to build my strength back up.
“This is not a decision I’ve made lightly, I wish things were different. I’ve wrestled since I was 14, it’s been my life.
Hopefully I will see you all at a show soon *blush face emoji,*” Millie McKenzie said in a post.
