While he was not on the initial list of AAA talents signed by WWE, he is now expected to join the company's main roster.
His most significant accomplishment was unmasking the legendary Dr. Wagner Jr. at Triplemanía XXV, a career-defining moment in modern Lucha Libre. A former AAA Latin American Champion and Rey de Reyes tournament winner, he was also a foundational member of the dominant Los Psycho Circus stable, holding the AAA World Trios Championship twice with the group.
He gained major visibility with WWE fans at the recent WWE x AAA Worlds Collide event. At the show, he teamed with Pagano and El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr., representing AAA in a six-man tag team match against WWE's Legado del Fantasma.
Although the AAA team showcased impressive high-flying offense, they were ultimately defeated when Santos Escobar pinned Wagner Jr. to secure the victory for his team.
