Lucha Underground Star ‘Son Of Havoc’ Broke His Leg

son of havoc broken leg injury injured matt cross

Son of Havoc says he broke his leg last month, then walked on it for weeks before getting diagnosed … however, the Lucha Underground star is doing his best to remain positive through it all.

Havoc told Uproxx that the accident occurred on January 13th during DEFY Wrestling‘s inaugural event when he injured himself during a moonsault gone wrong.

He adds, “Multiple people offered to take me to the hospital … my thought process being, ‘if I can stand on it, and get around, it’s not broken’. Only in retrospect do I realize how foolish that sounds.”

SoH says he finally decided to get an x-ray this week and it was painfully obvious that his leg was broken once the the film hit the screen. As of right now, there’s no timetable for his return.

“I just wanna say thank you to everyone who’s reached out and helped to make me feel like I’m not alone.” He adds, “My heart is broken, my leg is broken, but my spirit is not.”

For those of you looking to help, Havoc says buying one of his t-shirts is the best way to support.
