Austin Matelson is an American professional wrestler who as of October 2024, competes in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) under the moniker Killswitch. Formerly known as Luchasaurus, he rose to prominence by clinching the AEW World Tag Team Championship alongside "Jungle Boy" Jack Perry as part of the Jurassic Express. As his character evolved, Matelson aligned himself with Christian Cage and Nick Wayne to form a faction known as The Patriarchy. Along with them, he seized the AEW World Trios Championship and held it for 36 days before ultimately losing it to the Blackpool Combat Club at AEW All In London in 2024.
Before achieving success in AEW, Matelson had a brief tenure in WWE. He wrestled in its developmental territory, Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), using the ring name Judas Devlin. Following the rebranding of FCW to NXT, he was assigned to the NXT roster, but most of his matches took place at house shows rather than on television. However, in 2014, his WWE career came to an unexpected end due to a significant injury, leading to his release from the company.
