"This breaks my heart" - Wrestling world sends prayers to AEW star Luchasaurus

Former AEW TNT Champion Luchasaurus (aka Killswitch) recently suffered a serious health scare. If things don't get better for him, the star might be forced to retire.

A few days ago, Luchasaurus, was found unconscious in his home due to double pneumonia. He was rushed to the hospital and soon it was revealed that his blood oxygen level was less than 80%. Recently, prominent wrestling journalist Bryan Alvarez provided an update on this worrying situation. He revealed that the 39-year-old is not training in the gym and isn't going to for a while. Furthermore, he won't wrestle anytime soon as well.

"I don’t want to say it’s a career-ending issue, but it could be a career-ending issue. He's not back in the gym and he will not be back in the gym for a while and he’s not going to be back wrestling, probably, for a while. Hopefully, he will be back wrestling in a while," said Alvarez.

Upon the revelation of this information, fans on X (fka Twitter) expressed their concern for The Patriarchy member and prayed for his speedy recovery.

Luchasaurus may have suffered from permanent damage

According to Bryan Alvarez, the former AEW TNT Champion is at severe risk of relapsing. Furthermore, he might have suffered from permanent damage.

"Apparently, there were complications. He ends up getting this flu and bad oxygen uptake as a result of whatever else, turned into pneumonia. And apparently he’s at high risk for a relapse, is what I was told. The big concern is that after all of this, they’ve been running test after test, and apparently there may be permanent damage," said Alvarez.

The masked AEW star was currently involved in a fascinating storyline with Christian Cage. However, it looks like Tony Khan will have to change the plans going forward.
