The Undertaker Reveals He Had Heart Surgery After WWE WrestleMania 41

The Undertaker revealed that he endured a harrowing situation after WrestleMania 41 in April.

During an episode of the Six Feet Under podcast, The Undertaker and his wife, Michelle McCool, discussed an issue that she described as "a little bit of heart surgery."

McCool and The Undertaker were in Las Vegas for her induction into the WWE Hall of Fame the night before the start of WrestleMania 41. The Undertaker, who is a Hall of Famer himself, had the honor of inducting his wife. However, things went downhill when they got back home to Texas.

"It's because of the heart issues you've been having weeks prior," McCool said, per Andrew Ravens of Newsweek. "Which, by the grace of god, we found out just by — It ended up being terrifying. The day we got home from WrestleMania, the next day at 6 am, we were at the hospital for a little bit of heart surgery."

The Undertaker and McCool confirmed that his heart issues have since been resolved. However, he even admitted that he "wasn't supposed to go to Vegas." McCool explained that a doctor's appointment in March revealed a serious issue.

"Come to find out, you had been in chronic AFib for who knows how long. But the scary part was that you didn't feel any symptoms, so we didn't know," McCool said. "Yeah, you came in a few times out of breath and I'd give you a hard time like, 'Dude, you were just throwing the ball with the dog, why are you so out of breath?' Or going up the stairs to pray with the kids, 'Why are you out of breath,' not thinking it was an actual heart issue. So, yeah. Medicines didn't work and we ended up in the ER on a Friday."

McCool revealed that they went through an incredibly stressful experience after The Undertaker was examined.

"We went to the hospital, numbers were out of whack. Heartbeat was out of whack. Your ejection fraction of how the blood was pumping was 30 percent—it wasn't much. Supposed to be 100 percent, obviously," she said. "We ended up staying in the hospital for four nights where they actually had to cardiovert you and shock you back to a normal rhythm. That sadly lasted, what, 24 hours. Maybe 48. After four days, we go home, two days later, you're back in AFib. Man, I was stressed."
