Ex-WWE Star Justin Credible Hospitalized With Calf Infection

After months of inspiring progress, Justin Credible just shared a health setback—but he’s staying focused on recovery.

The ECW original took to Twitter on January 19, 2026, to reveal that he’s been hospitalized with a calf infection. While the situation isn’t considered life-threatening, Credible explained that the issue had been lingering for some time—and now he’s finally addressing it.

“At the hospital treating my calf for infection. The blood work & testing nothing too serious but my leg has been a problem for a while so I’m glad I’m taking care of it. Send me some prayers.”

This update comes just weeks after Credible posted a powerful New Year’s Eve message celebrating 2½ months of sobriety. On December 31, 2025, he shared before-and-after photos showing his physical transformation and praised the help he received from DDP Yoga and Diamond Dallas Page.

“The difference is insane. 2 1/2 months ago, I walked into treatment facility for addiction. Today I’m 2 1/2 months sober. I’ve lost 25 pounds w help of @DDPYoga & @RealDDP. I’m 52 years young. 2026 is going to be my year. I’m so blessed to have my family, friends & all of You.”

That emotional post marked a major turning point after a tough stretch. Back in October 2025, Credible had been hospitalized following a car accident in Philadelphia. Upon his release, he admitted he didn’t even have gas money to get home—and issued a desperate plea for help.

“I hate to ask. I know a lot of u have certain feelings about me but Thursday night I got into an accident. I’ve been in Philadelphia at a hospital. Since then I’ve been discharged, but I don’t have gas money to get home or tolls… If there’s any way you guys can bless me, DM 🙏”

Since then, Credible has stayed committed to recovery. He completed rehab at the Discovery Institute in New Jersey in November 2025 and recently announced on Francine’s podcast that he had landed his first job outside of wrestling—starting work at a Chili’s restaurant in early 2026.

Now, even as he deals with another medical challenge, he remains proactive and positive. Justin Credible’s journey is far from over—but with each update, he shows that comebacks happen one decision at a time.
