A former AEW champion is in on the mend following a health scare.

Fightful Select reports that former AEW Tag Team, TNT and Trios champion Luchasaurus, aka Killswitch, is recovering at a hospital after his fiancé found him collapsed on September 27th in what was found to be a case of pneumonia in both lungs. Killswitch was rushed to the hospital and was found to have his blood oxygen levels below 80 percent. Because of that, Killswitch was days away from being diagnosed with permanent lung damage.

The last time Luchasaurus wrestled was at AEW All in 2024 at the end of August, where he competed in two matches. He helped Cage win the Casino Gauntlet match to win a contract to which Cage can compete for the AEW Heavyweight championship at anytime. Earlier in the card, Killswitch, Cage and Wayne lost the Trios belts to Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta.
