September 21, 2014

The video footage below has surfaced online, featuring WWE star Roman Reigns in his hospital bed in Nashville, following yesterday’s emergency hernia surgery.

During the video, Reigns has the following to say about going from facing Seth Rollins at Night of Champions to laying in a hospital bed:

“Yesterday I was here in Nashville promoting Night of Champions and my match against Seth Rollins,” said Reigns. “I was laying in bed and all of a sudden I felt a really sharp pain right below my belly button in my bladder region. Tried to gut it out but it just kept getting worse so I ended up calling 911. They sent an ambulance and once I got to the hospital, the doctor said I had a hernia and I needed to go into emergency surgery and here I am now.”

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.
