Sunday night saw Laredo Kid win a triple threat match over Toscano and Villano V Jr. before defeating El Hijo del Vikingo in the finals of the AAA Showcenter tournament in Monterrey. Unfortunately, however, rather than celebrating the victory, he has instead had to undergo emergency surgery, according to the post shared on his official Instagram account. And while there are no detailing the precise ailment, it certainly sounds serious, with it unknown whether he’ll be able to fulfill his booking over the coming months.
I don’t know how or where to start with this news 😣 Unfortunately yesterday @laredokidpro had to be taken by ambulance to the hospital at the end of the championship fight in Monterrey. He had to undergo surgery in the early morning emergency. A little while ago was conscious and aware of his situation for a few minutes to notify family + closest friends. Hopefully, in the next few hours, days your situation will improve and become stable 🙏🏽 Fans, promoters, friends, family and colleagues from Laredo, I will try to be aware of messages and be able to respond to most.
Promoters/events with dates scheduled in the following months 😞 due to the seriousness of what happened, the recovery time is not yet known, any questions or comments, I will be answering msg, and emails, for the moment avoid calls.
Translated from instagram.com/laredokidproThe 35-year-old luchador found fame in Mexico in AAA after two years on the indies, and having established himself there, he would begin looking to work in the US. Although despite a WWE tryout in 2015, where he teamed with Sammy Guevara, he seemed unable to take the next step and looked set to become a journeyman. Nevertheless, over the past few years, he has become acknowledged as one of the top performers in the world, and in addition to becoming an Impact Wrestling regular, he has twice wrestled for AEW, once in 2019 when he teamed with the Lucha Brothers against The Elite at Fyter Fest. And then, in 2021, again teaming with the Lucha Brothers, this time against The Young Bucks and Brandon Cutler on Dynamite.
