July 18, 2024 – The WWE Universe is in shock after reports surfaced that Mia Yim (aka Michin in WWE) is battling a serious, undisclosed health issue, with sources close to the situation revealing she has been unresponsive to friends and family for days.
The 35-year-old Damage CTRL member was last seen at the July 15th WWE Raw taping, where witnesses say she appeared “visibly fatigued” before abruptly leaving the arena. Since then, her social media has gone completely dark, and WWE has suspiciously removed her from upcoming live event lineups.
🚑 What We Know So Far:
✔ MISSING SCHEDULED APPEARANCES – Pulled from last-minute SmackDown booking
✔ NO OFFICIAL STATEMENT – WWE unusually silent, no “well wishes” tweet
✔ FRIENDS WORRIED – Fellow wrestlers posting cryptic messages like “Praying for you sis” (Shotzi) & “This isn’t fair” (Bianca Belair)
