While Lee did not go into detail on the specific issues, rumours began circulating that he would undergo throat and heart surgery. However this was confirmed to be untrue by Lee’s wife, WWE wrestler Mia “Michin” Yim:
Smdh. Ringside news is hot pressed garbage. I won’t state specifics but heart and throat surgery is absolutely false.
