Former WWE Superstar Rusev confirmed earlier today on his Twitch gaming livestream that he has recentky tested positive for COVID-19.
The news comes shortly after his wife Lana revealed that both of her parents have tested positive for the virus as well.
Lana’s mother was taken into ICU but she is recovering and doing much better now. In an update, Lana said:
“So my mother is doing much better, They have had her off of the oxygen in the hospital for over 24 hours. Now that’s incredible, thank you guys for all of your prayers and positive thoughts. Her oxygen, um the thing she has to breathe in, is doing – it’s like you don’t want it lower than 90 and it’s like 93 right now. So that’s really good. They’ve had her off of oxygen for over 24 hours and now she’s out of the ICU.
She is in a hotel room that they are talking about releasing her um today because she’s doing much better. They said that she’s not out of the woods though yet, so you know just keep her in your prayers and thoughts. She is doing much better, so thank you guys so much.”
News of her father contracting the virus came out shortly after, though he initially thought it was a simple allergic reaction which was leading him to feel very weak.
“My dad is doing better, he’s on about day 15 right now. He couldn’t get out of bed at all for a week. Last week, he couldn’t get out of bed, like he’s not asthmatic like my mother is. My mom is very asthmatic and that’s why it affected her lungs – my dad couldn’t get out of bed, he was so weak.
He thought he just had simple pollen allergies. Next thing you know he gets bedridden. Just be really really careful guys. My dad is doing better today. Yesterday was the first day that he started to feel better. Thank you guys for your prayers and your positive energy.”
Rusev was released from WWE back in April due to company wide releases in an effort to cut costs following the COVID-19 outbreak. Lana continues to feature on WWE Monday Night RAW.
