Joaquin Wilde Talks His Life Nearly Ending Due To A Serious Stomach Injury Before He Signed With WWE

WWE SmackDown Star Joaquin Wilde recently appeared on Ryan Satin’s Out Of Character podcast, where he spoke about a number of topics such as how he suffered a serious stomach injury that nearly ended his career and his life as well as how a gastroenterologist told him two months after the injury happened that he feels like he is talking to a ghost.

Joaquin Wilde said:

“It’s unbelievable. It wasn’t just that the injury happened, it should have ended my career, it should have ended my life. I remember speaking to a gastroenterologist two months after this injury happened and when he looked at my X-Rays and story, he said, ‘I feel like I’m talking to a ghost right now. You should be dead.’”

Joaquin Wilde also spoke about how he was given a second chance because there was still something for him to achieve in the wrestling business and that is to be in the WWE.

Joaquin Wilde said:

“I just thought to myself, why was I given this second chance? Why was I spared? Why am I still able to wrestle, why am I still alive? I just always thought that it was because there was still something left for me to achieve in this business. I guess WWE was the thing and here we are, I’m so glad it all worked out.”
