Aereo collapsing in the ring after a number of chops and a kick to the mid-section. Aereo staggered and keeled over. His opponent immediately checked on him after realising something had gone wrong, and the referee called for assistance. He sadly passed away afterwards.

A number of talents in Pro-Wrestling sent condolences:

We risk our lives everytime we step into the ring. We toss the coin up in the air. Unfortunately, a young athlete lost his life tonight. Though I didnt know him personally, I know he meant to a lot to people that cared for him. RIP Principe Aereo
