AEW Star Big Swole has been out of action for most of 2021.
Tony Khan was asked about Big Swole during the AEW Revolution post-show media scrum, and he revealed that Big Swole’s suffers from Crohn’s disease, and issues associated with the disease have been keeping her out of action.
Swole addressed her fans yesterday in a very open and candid letter explaining her situation and how Crohn’s disease affects her daily life.
“This past year has been filled with ups and a lot of downs. After my bout with pneumonia early last year, I was informed that resuming my medicine for Crohn’s would result in death given the COVID-19 circumstances. Seeing as how the biologic I was on shuts down my immune system and acts as such resuming my medicine was not an option. I was doing alright self-managing until the flare ups started in the fall. As some of you may not know Crohn’s attacks the body as a whole so on top of my intestines issues different body parts would lock up and become incapable of bending at the joints. Some days I could barely walk and that took a toll on me emotionally and mentally. Living with this disease may seem like a thorn and it is but it also shows me that His grace is sufficient and no matter what happens I will smile because I am more than a conqueror. I am Swole and that mentality/faith will carry me through it all. I ask that you bare with me, I’m getting the treatments that I need and my journey to complete healing is underway. Thank you for your love and thoughtful messages, I appreciate them and you! Much love to everyone, be safe! #Chronies”
We at Bodyslam.net would like to send out all the positive energy and well wishes to Swole as she deals with this very difficult situation. We can’t wait to see you in an AEW ring again soon.
