Jonathan Gresham just dropped a serious update that has shocked fans — the technical wrestling standout revealed on social media that he suffered two strokes just days ago, and now he’s taking a break from the ring to recover.
Gresham, who recently faced Pete Dunne at Bloodsport XIV on August 2, explained that he woke up one morning unable to move the left side of his body. What followed was a frightening medical emergency.
“Two days ago, I woke up and couldn’t walk or move the left side of my body. I couldn’t see and could barely talk. It took me 30 minutes to dial 911, but I finally did. I woke up in the hospital, couldn’t remember what had happened. They told me they had done an MRI and I had two strokes.”
Despite the severity, Gresham shared that all his tests have come back clean. Doctors suspect a possible link to a recent severe case of COVID-19, though nothing has been confirmed.
“They’re not sure what happened, and the only thing they said was it could have been a possible complication from a bad case of COVID I had a couple of weeks ago. They said we may never know the exact reason.”
He also opened up about how his wife rushed to be by his side after seeing him taken away by paramedics via their Ring doorbell cam.
“My wife saw me get carted off from the house on our Ring doorbell camera and somehow flew from Orlando to Atlanta in time that she was there when I woke up. I wasn’t fully convinced I had a stroke until she showed me this photo of how my face looked. I never thought this would be something for me to worry about at 37 years old.”
Gresham is now taking the next 2–4 weeks off from wrestling to rest and get medically cleared. He made it clear this isn’t the end.
“I will be back soon.”
This sobering moment serves as a reminder that health can change in an instant — even for pro wrestlers in peak shape. Jonathan Gresham’s grit is unmatched, and fans everywhere will be rooting for his full recovery.
