Who is the AEW star on Big Brother? Meet Austin Matelson

Austin Matelson, better known by his wrestling moniker “Luchasaurus” and currently as “Killswitch” in AEW, may not be gracing the Big Brother screen lately, but he’s no stranger to the reality TV realm. Matelson made his mark not once, but twice on the popular show.

Back in 2015, during season 17 of Big Brother, Matelson, under his real name, placed 5th overall. However, it wasn’t just his gameplay that caught attention.

His involvement in a controversial relationship, despite being in a committed partnership outside the house, stirred up quite the media storm.

Returning for a brief appearance in season 19, Matelson participated in a special competition featuring former contestants.

Though his time on Big Brother certainly thrust him into the spotlight, it’s his wrestling prowess that defines his career trajectory.

Matelson has grappled his way through various promotions, leaving an indelible mark on the wrestling scene. From his stint in WWE NXT to his time in Lucha Underground, Matelson has consistently showcased his talent and athleticism.

Currently, he’s making waves in AEW, captivating audiences with his unique persona and in-ring abilities.

While Big Brother provided him with a platform beyond wrestling, it’s his passion for the sport that continues to drive his success in the ring.
