Laredo Kid is recovering in hospital following emergency surgery. 

The 35-year-old luchador was injured on Sunday during a match with Vikingo in Monterrey. Although he was in pain, Laredo took pictures with fans after the show before eventually being taken to hospital. He then underwent emergency surgery to repair torn intestines. 

“Laredo Kid’s Instagram story was updated with a message saying he’s stable and improving, with signs his operation went well,” wrote LuchaBlog on Twitter. “He’ll get to go home in a couple of days if everything goes well.”

Promoter Ishaan Idnani-Ramos spoke to the Laredo Morning Times earlier this week about Laredo’s injury. 

“Right now, he was just operated on, and basically all we know now is that he is stable,” Idnani-Ramos said. “However, what happened was a rupture in his intestines. As of right now, he is OK, but we don’t know how this will affect him as for his upcoming bookings. But right now he is OK.”

“He is really grateful for all that have reached out and sent him positive vibes and prayers and things like that,” he continued.
