In news that has rocked lucha libre fans, it was reported that Blue Demon Jr. was hospitalized on Monday morning after a car accident. Obviously, this concerned his huge fanbase, although, in what can only be considered a positive update, the official Instagram account of the masked luchador has disclosed that, while he remains in intensive care, he is currently stable and out of danger.

“The public and media are informed that early Monday morning, Blue Demon Jr. was involved in a car accident. Fortunately, he is stable and out of danger, although he is in intensive care receiving the necessary medical attention and monitoring. We deeply appreciate the expressions of support and concern shown, as well as the respect for his privacy during this recovery process.”Blue Demon Jr.'s Instagram

For those unaware, Blue Demon Jr. is the adopted son of the original Blue Demon and continues his legacy, as Blue Demon Sr.’s son by birth did not want to be a pro wrestler. Still, this has caused a great deal of controversy in Mexico over who actually owns the name, with the birth son going as far as to claim Blue Demon Jr. was never actually adopted and, therefore, shouldn’t have any claim to the legendary character. However, Blue Demon Jr. has never publicly responded to this allegation, and despite being 59 years old, he continues to compete regularly, having established himself as a genuine star in the world of lucha libre.
