Shane McMahon “Hospitalized” While On Vacation, Per WWE

Shane McMahon is currently in a New York area hospital, if WWE is to be believed.

According to WWE.com, Shane McMahon was relaxing and recovering with his family in the Caribbean when he went to the hospital in Antigua to find out he has acute diverticulitis and an umbilical hernia.

The following is the statement from WWE.

Shane McMahon is currently recovering from acute diverticulitis and an umbilical hernia in a New York-area medical facility, WWE.com has learned.

Two weeks ago on SmackDown LIVE, McMahon announced he would be taking an indefinite leave of absence from his position as the blue brand’s Commissioner. Following that announcement, McMahon was brutally attacked by Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. WWE medical staff initially diagnosed him with a laryngeal contusion and trapezius and rhomboid strains as a result of the beating.

Following the vicious assault, McMahon went to the Caribbean with his family to rest and recuperate. While there, Shane developed a massive infection due to acute diverticulitis and was hospitalized for several days in Antigua before being flown back to a New York-area hospital, where he is currently being treated with heavy doses of antibiotics. The doctors in New York have also discovered that Shane suffered an umbilical hernia during the attack, which will require surgery once the infection has been eradicated.

McMahon was not on Smackdown last week but Daniel Bryan appeared and fired Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn because of their attack on the former Smackdown commissioner. Bryan was subsequently attacked by Owens and Zayn.
