Killswitch/Luchasaurus Hospitalized, On Oxygen As He Recovers From Double Pneumonia
An AEW star is in rough shape after a scary medical situation.
Former AEW Trios, Tag Team and TNT champion Luchasaurus, aka Killswitch is recovering after his fiance found him collapsed on Friday, September 27. He was rushed to the hospital where they found his blood oxygen below 80 percent and determined he had pneumonia in both lungs. It was discovered that he was days away from permanent lung damage.
Killswitch has been on oxygen in the days that have followed, and was told to expect a recovery of over a month. His in-ring return is unclear.
He last wrestled at AEW London All In, wrestling in two matches. Prior to that, he’d only wrestled once in July, once in June, once in May, none at all in April, and once in March, working eight matches for the year total as he’d worked with Christian Cage and the Patriarchy.
