WWE Hall of Famer dealing with health issues; worried she might die in prison

WWE Hall of Famer Tammy Sytch, also known as Sunny, recently revealed her worrying health condition in prison.

Tammy was sentenced to 17 years in prison last November after being convicted of Driving under the influence (DUI), driving with a suspended license, and causing a fatal car crash that killed a 75-year-old man in March 2022. However, it seems like the 51-year-old is dealing with multiple health issues just six months into her sentence.

During a recent interview with TMZ, Sunny revealed that she was suffering from a blood clot and severe swelling from her knees to her toes. The WWE Hall of Famer added that she was receiving very poor medical treatment in the prison:

"The world knows why I’m here...but when you’re here, you should be offered at least halfway decent medical treatment. About three and a half, almost four weeks ago now, my left leg starts swelling up really really badly, from top of my knee all the way down to my toes...it basically looks like somebody put a bicycle tire pump on it and just inflated it twice the size.”

Sunny went on:

"And now I had, about a week and a half ago, a huge red lump started forming right underneath my calf muscle...so it’s getting worse and the lump is probably about the size of a ping pong ball. And it’s bright red and really painful. Apparently the ultrasound tech...she looked at it and told them, listen, she’s got a severe blood clot in her leg. You better take her to the hospital, she could die from this.”

Tammy also expressed fear that she may end up suffering the same fate as her late husband and die from a blood clot:

"My husband Chris Candido...died of the same kind of a blood clot in the same leg, after he had ankle surgery after a wrestling match. So all that’s been going through my mind for the past three weeks is, 'Oh my God! I’m gonna follow in his footsteps and die of a blood clot just like he did, because I can’t get medical treatment in this prison.'"

What the future has in store for the 51-year-old remains to be seen.
