A former WWE star revealed that he had recently been dead for two minutes before being revived. The star in question was released by the promotion in 2019.

Speaking on the Developmentally Speaking podcast, former WWE Superstar Konnor opened up about dying last year for a couple of minutes. He stated that his heart stopped, and it was a moment of clarity for him.

“Well, 7 months ago, I died. I don’t know if I told you that, but I’m pretty sure I did. I passed away, and I was dead for two minutes. My heart stopped; they had to rejuvenate me. It was a moment of clarity, I guess you could say. And that is something that I’ve never told anybody. First of all, I haven’t done interviews since. So you are the first one to know that I had passed away for two minutes,” he said.

The veteran noted that the experience helped him realize what was important in his life.

“I went through a tough period for the past two years of my life, and I think that kind of rolled over into what caused all of this stuff to happen. It now has helped me focus so much more on what is important,” he added.

Konnor discusses a possible WWE return

Konnor recently opened up about potentially returning to WWE sometime in the future.

In an interview on Rewind Recap Relive, The Ascension discussed the possibility of returning to the promotion. Konnor noted that the team would likely return if the money was right.

“It’s like in wrestling, you never say never, but in the right positions and with the right people, I think, and I could be wrong, but I think Vik and I would come back if the money is good,” Konnor said.

Only time will tell what the future holds for The Ascension and if they will ever get the opportunity to return to WWE in the future.
