An AEW star is in rough shape after a scary medical situation. Former AEW Trios, Tag Team and TNT champion Luchasaurus, aka Killswitch is recovering after his fiance found him collapsed on Friday, September 27. He was rushed to the hospital where they found his blood oxygen below 80 percent and determined he had pneumonia in both longs. It was discovered that he was days away from permanent lung damage. Killswitch has been on oxygen in the days that have followed, and was told to expect a recovery of over a month. His in-ring return is unclear. Fightful gained permission from those close to Killswitch/Luchasaurus before running this article.

      I also like the bit about getting permission.

      Sapp is a gigantic fucking goober who needs to be smacked some days, but I’ll give credit when it’s due: He seems to always respect medical stuff. This, Brodie, Bray, and others. He’ll take the info and just compile it and sit on it until someone gives him the go-ahead.
