-- After being found unconscious by his fiancee and later being diagnosed as having pneumonia in both lungs in late September, AEW star Luchasaurus/Killswitch continues to struggle with health issues.
-- On the latest Wrestling Observer Live, host Bryan Alvarez revealed that Luchasaurus is now dealing with complications while recovering and there are worries that he may have suffered not only a setback but permanent damage.
"He is 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. And it’s hopefully, he will be back wrestling in a while. Apparently, there were complications."
“He ends up getting this flu and bad oxygen uptake as a result of whatever else, turned into pnemenuioa. 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. They found calcification in a heart valve and his body is not producing iron and so he’s got a whole bunch of tests that he apparently has to take. It’s bad. It’s bad enough that he’s out of the hospital, apparently, but he still has to do oxygen."
"I don’t want to say it’s a career-ending issue, but it could be a career-ending issue."
-- Alvarez also noted that Luchasaurus has a compromised immune system and possibly even sleep apnea. The wrestler requires oxygen at home due to the fact that even simply activities leave him out of breath. Obviously he is not allowed to train and also is unable to travel for at least four weeks but needs to see a specialist as soon as possible.
