WWE/TNA announcer Matthew Rehwoldt has shared the news as he was recently diagnosed with shingles.
Rehwoldt, aka Aiden English, had a run in WWE from 2012 to 2020. He is most remembered for his tag team with Simon Gotch in WWE as the Vaudevillains, where they found success in NXT and on the main roster.
Together, they held the NXT Tag Team Titles before they were called up and Gotch was let go in 2017. Mattew had a run with Rusev before becoming a color commentator on 205 Live and NXT UK. He was let go in 2020 before moving to TNA and NJPW.
Rehwoldt took to Twitter to issue the following statement:
“Vulnerable post: so it turns out that a 36 I’ve developed a case of shingles. Yes it’s a condition that’s typically seen in older or elderly people, but has been seen to crop up in younger people more and more lately. It’s a variation on the same virus as the chickenpox, and even though these patches of rash are small, they cause lightning sharp pain at various times throughout the day. I can’t go to the gym. I can’t sleep comfortably . Thankfully, with the help of some doctors that should clear up in the next week .
I’ve been told that stress can be a key factor in bringing this on, so I’m posting this as a reminder of the importance of taking time for self-care and treating your body and your mind, right… physical manifestations will happen if you neglect that. Wellness and balance is key – and even though I thought I was feeling pretty good my body has kept me in check clearly! This is just to say take care of yourself and when stress is really high, please don’t be afraid to seek help!
#wellness #selfcare”
