Serena Deeb cleared to return, AEW absence was due to unprovoked seizures

Serena Deeb is ready to return to the ring.  

In an Instagram video posted on Thursday, Deeb revealed that her long absence from AEW programming was due to a series of unprovoked seizures that began in October 2022. She also announced that her neurologist has cleared her to return and she hopes to be back soon. 

Deeb says in the video:

I just wanted to share with you today a little bit about what's been going on with me. Since last October, I've had a series of three unprovoked seizures. This has been a really dramatic time period for me. It's affected my career and it's affected my life in a lot of ways. It's been really scary for me.

I've seen a lot of different doctors, I've had every test imaginable and for the longest time nobody could tell me why this happened.

Being out of the ring has been very challenging for me. I love professional wrestling with everything in me and I miss performing, I miss wrestling.

Deeb also says in the video that she had been keeping this private but decided to come public to share a message of hope with others dealing with similar issues. 

I've kept this very private and then I started learning more about seizures and how much more common it is and I didn't realize how many people experience seizures. I just have so much empathy. I know how scary it is and I just want to send the message that you are not alone and there is always light at the end of the tunnel.

I want to encourage you and a big reason why I wanted to talk to you today is because I do have some news, and it's really good news, it's great news.

I saw my neurologist recently and he told me that I recovered, I'm healthy, and I'm officially cleared to wrestle. That means I am ready to return. Hopefully, the next time you guys see me, I'll be in the ring doing exactly what I do best. I can't wait to wrestle, I can't wait to show you exactly what the Professor, what Serena Deeb is made of. Thank you so much for your time, I appreciate and love every single one of you. Much love.
