Killswitch has received medical clearance to return to action following a life-threatening battle with pneumonia. The former Luchasaurus faced a critical health situation in September 2024 when he collapsed at home, prompting his fiancée to seek immediate medical attention.
The severity of his condition became apparent when doctors diagnosed pneumonia in both lungs, with his blood oxygen levels dropping dangerously below 80%. Medical professionals indicated he was mere days away from potential permanent lung damage.
Fightful Select reports that during a recent appearance at Toyhio, Killswitch shared news of his medical clearance. However, sources clarify that receiving clearance from personal physicians differs from obtaining AEW’s approval to return to the ring.
Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer Radio provided additional context regarding Killswitch’s recovery, noting plans for him to resume gym training. While no creative direction has been established for his eventual return, the situation holds particular interest given his previous alliance with Christian Cage, who maintains a prominent position in AEW programming since Killswitch’s last appearance at All In 2024.
