AEW Star Killswitch Hospitalized After Collapse

Worrying news has emerged for one AEW star as Killswitch – formerly known as Luchasaurus – has been hospitalized following a collapse.

Fightful Select has reported that Killswitch was found by his fiancée after he had collapsed on Friday, September 27th. The star was rushed to the hospital where his blood oxygen level had dropped to below 80%. He was then diagnosed with pneumonia in both lungs and was told he was days away from suffering permanent lung damage.

Killswitch has been on oxygen since then and was told his recovery should take over a month leaving the status of his immediate in-ring future unclear.

Who Is AEW’s Killswitch?

As one of AEW’s originals, the man best known as Luchasaurus is a former AEW Tag Team, TNT, and Trios Champion. He came to prominence in AEW as part of Jurassic Express with Jungle Boy Jack Perry and Marko Stunt and it was with Perry that he captured the AEW Tag Team Title.

However, that partnership split after they lost the gold and Christian Cage brutally turned on Perry. Luchasaurus eventually stuck by the side of Cage and it was Christian Cage who rechristened the star as Killswitch after his own finishing move.

Killswitch has helped Cage to many victories and recently cleared the way for the leader of The Patriarchy to win the Casino Gauntlet match at All In guaranteeing him a shot at the AEW World Championship.

Everyone at TJR Wrestling sends their best wishes to Killswitch for a full and speedy recovery.
