NWA National Heavyweight Champion Mike Mondo had a rough start to his day on January 10, 2026 — but he’s already bouncing back like a pro.
Mondo took to Twitter from the dentist’s chair, sharing a post-surgery selfie after undergoing emergency dental surgery to remove a wisdom tooth. Wearing black shades and a nasal oxygen mask, the wrestler looked like he was already itching to get back to work. The former WWE star kept it real in his post, writing:
“Had to have emergency dental surgery today on my wisdom tooth. Nice to not have that F’er out to not deal with those aches/pains and migraines anymore. Recovery is going well and I’ll be back in the gym tomorrow. Still always #gutchecktime”
Despite the emergency procedure, Mondo’s message was one of resilience — proving once again why he’s still a fixture in the wrestling world. Fans are used to seeing him tough it out in the ring, and apparently, not even dental surgery can slow him down for more than 24 hours.
While he didn’t mention whether this will affect his in-ring schedule, it’s clear he doesn’t plan to sit out long. The gym is already calling.
