WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash has provided an update on his health following a recent heart procedure. The wrestling legend discussed the aftermath of the surgery on the latest episode of his Kliq This podcast.
Nash was hospitalized on September 24, 2025, for a procedure intended to correct an irregular heartbeat. The health concern came to light after Nash revealed he had recently learned he may have unknowingly suffered a heart attack twenty years ago.
Background on Kevin Nash’s Health Procedure
Prior to the surgery, Nash described the medical intervention as a process that would “zap you and put you back in rhythm.” The goal was to perform a cardiac ablation to restore his heart’s normal electrical signaling.

Fans and peers expressed concern following the initial announcement. Nash has been open about his health in the past, and this latest news was a significant point of discussion in the wrestling community.
Now, just days after the procedure, Nash has detailed his experience. He shared the story of his immediate post-surgery moments and his rapid recovery time.
The Aftermath and Quick Recovery
On his podcast, Nash explained what happened as soon as he woke up. He was greeted by a smiling doctor and a happy medical team.
“So I wake up. He’s smiling at me. They’re happy. I said, okay, you know, we’ll get your wife. She came in and said, ‘you want something to drink?’ I said, ‘yeah.’ And my go-to after-surgery drink is always cranberry juice, because I don’t ever drink anything like that.”
He continued (H/T to Fightful), “So that’s why, that’s like, you know, nice and tart, kind of cleans your mouth out. So I had my cranberry juice, and then they were like, ‘well, you can get up whenever you feel like it.’”
Nash detailed an exceptionally fast turnaround from the operating table to leaving the hospital. His total time in recovery was less than an hour.
“I just sat around because I already had my shoes on. She untied the back of my thing. I pulled it off, put my T-shirt on, and was in the car, I think, total time until we hit the IHOP was under an hour. Yeah, 53 (minutes). And then I get home.”
In the days since Nash first announced his health issue, many from the wrestling world have offered public support. Fellow Kliq member Sean Waltman and other industry veterans took to social media to share messages of encouragement and expressed their relief that the procedure was a success.
