Two weeks before WrestleMania 34, WWE announced that 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 for treatment.
While hospitalized, doctors discovered that Shane suffered an umbilical hernia which required surgery once the infection has been eradicated, and it looks like Shane underwent that procedure this week.
In related news, Chris Jericho revealed on a recent episode of his podcast that WWE reached out to him to be a replacement for Shane McMahon at WrestleMania 34 if Shane ended up not being medically cleared to compete in New Orleans.
“A few weeks before WrestleMania, maybe three or four weeks, I get a call from Vince”, said Jericho, h/t to Cage Side Seats for the transcription. “And he’s talking about Shane and his appendix, or not his appendix, his diverticulitis, and he had an infection in his hand and he had… a staph infection and he had… a hernia. And he goes, ‘Listen, we don’t know if he can do ‘Mania.’ And he had somehow looked, or got someone to look at my schedule, and we had a Fozzy show that day… So he was like ‘I know you’re doing a Fozzy show, and you’re gonna watch WrestleMania with your fans,’ he goes, ‘what would you think about coming to New Orleans if Shane can’t do it?’”
