Although she’s out of the hospital now, she will need a liver transplant.”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 I’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.”Millie McKenzie’s brief WWE runIn 2018, Millie McKenzie worked for NXT UK and participated in the NXT UK Women’s Championship tournament.
