Killswitch’s In-Ring Return Status Remains Uncertain After Collapsing from Pneumonia

Former AEW Trios and TNT Champion Killswitch, who has been working under Christian Cage’s guidance for several months, is currently facing a serious health battle. Killswitch was recently hospitalized due to pneumonia, and his in-ring return remains uncertain as he recovers from the illness.

As previously reported, Killswitch collapsed at home on Friday, September 27, and was rushed to the hospital by his fiancée. Upon arrival, doctors found that his blood oxygen levels had plummeted below 80 percent, and he was diagnosed with pneumonia in both lungs. It was noted that he was only days away from suffering permanent lung damage.

In an update provided by Sean Ross Sapp on Fightful Select’s Q&A podcast, Killswitch has since returned home but remains on oxygen. His recovery is expected to take over a month, and while his return to the ring is still uncertain, doctors are optimistic that he should be able to compete again in the future.

“He’s on oxygen. He’s back home. Was told to expect recovery over a month. His in-ring return remains unclear although the doctors he has spoken to say he should be able to return to the ring,” Sapp reported.
