Reasons vary as to why superstars feel they need to turn to substance abuse for help; whether it’s from having limited options after leaving the WWE, or simply needing an outlet to relieve the stress of being a superstar who is constantly in the spotlight. We’ve seen it many times before; wrestlers lose themselves and fail to get help and before we know it, it’s too late. There are still some wrestlers fighting this ongoing battle till this day. Chyna is a name that comes to mind. Despite hitting a wall for the last couple of years, she is finally focusing on getting better and perhaps making a return to the WWE, something wrestling fans would certainly love to see. Sadly for many though, they did not have the opportunity to get help, and the list of wrestlers that passed away from drug abuse is like reading a stat sheet for an entire sports league; the names sadly just keep on going. Thankfully for some, they got the help they required and made extraordinary changes to their lives. These wrestlers not only survived, but they also thrived after getting better. Here is the list of 11 wrestling stars that were saved by rehab.

10) Rosa Mendes

It was revealed during an episode of Total Divas that Rosa Mendes’ time away from the WWE was spent in a rehab facility. It’s been reported that Rosa was sent home from a European tour with the WWE after officials had enough of her excessive partying. Thankfully for Rosa she was able to hang on to her job while in rehab and also escape an alleged abusive relationship with Steven Slocum. Rosa is doing quite well today and is expecting her first child with Bobby Schubenski, a musician and clothing company owner. The couple is expected to have a girl.
