He finished high school on the advice of his parents, but they both supported his decision to go into professional wrestling. [2]

On November 11, at the Big Lucha Face 2 Face event, he would make the save after Jack Evans and his henchmen attacked Bandido, Komander and Gravity, turning face in the process. Afterwards he would join Bandidos newly announced stable, Los Golden Guns, alongside Bandido, Komander, Gravity and Rey Horus. [9]

After making his United States debut at a Big Lucha/Galli show in Chicago, on January 21, 2023 he was announced for Gleat in Japan.
