Luchasaurus is out of action due to a legitimate injury, according to Fightful Select. It is not known at the time of the report how long Luchasaurus will be out of action or if surgery is required. He could be seen on Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite: New Year’s Smash, wearing a wrap on his left arm and left torso.
During Wednesday’s episode, an angle was done with Luchasaurus being attacked by The Demand – Toa Liona, Bishop Kaun and Ricochet at the stage area. Liona and Kaun took out Luchasaurus with a piece of the guardrail, followed by repeated chair shots.
The attack took place after Ricochet successfully defended the National Title against Jack Perry, after connecting with a spirit gun. Ricochet then hit Perry with a second spirit gun to ensure he would not be able to save Luchasaurus.
