Chigvintsev had said Jan. 20 on Instagram that he was stepping away from the tour due to health issues.

Chigvintsev gave an update Feb. 3 on Instagram Stories, telling fans he was battling pneumonia.

"So, I had another X-ray done yesterday, and it came back still positive for pneumonia, so I just got another set of antibiotics. This is of course number two," he said.

"Hopefully, this one will do the magic, will do the trick, to kick out the pneumonia out of my lungs. So that's where I'm at."

Chigvintsev's fiancee, WWE star and television personality Nikki Bella, said in a Feb. 15 interview with E! News' Daily Pop that Chigvintsev still had pneumonia but was "doing better."
