Professional wrestler Killswitch, also known as Luchasaurus, has been hospitalized due to a serious case of double pneumonia. Fans of the All Elite Wrestling star were shocked when news broke that he had been rushed to the hospital after suffering a terrifying medical incident.
According to reports from Fightful, who were given permission to share the information by those close to the 39-year-old wrestler, his blood oxygen level was alarmingly low and he had pneumonia in both of his lungs. It's been revealed that he was just days away from permanent lung damage and has been receiving oxygen since being admitted to the hospital.
It's been a tough year for Killswitch, who has held trios and tag team titles in AEW, as well as the TNT Title. Unfortunately, his recovery could take over a month and it's unclear when he will be able to return to the ring. His last match for AEW was at the All In London event, where he competed in two matches at Wembley Stadium.
Before his time with AEW, Killswitch appeared on the US version of Big Brother and was previously signed with WWE. In 2020, he wrestled in a total of eight matches, with some months not having any matches at all. Fans and fellow wrestlers have been sending their well wishes for his recovery, but there are no further updates on his condition at this time.
One of his former AEW teammates, Marko Stunt, shared a heartfelt message on social media, expressing how much Killswitch had supported and protected him both in and out of the ring. It's clear that he has made a lasting impact on those he has worked with.
Killswitch, whose real name is Austin Matelson, began his wrestling career in 2009 and signed with WWE in 2012. He then gained recognition through his time in Lucha Underground and on the independent circuit before joining AEW in 2019. During his hiatus from wrestling, he also appeared on reality TV shows such as Big Brother, Access Hollywood, and The Price Is Right.
