Ángel de Plata

Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (2008–present) Ángel de Plata (2008–2012)

Sergio's feud with his brother in Durango was so well received by the crowd that the siblings received an invitation to train at Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre's (CMLL) wrestling school in Guadalajara, Jalisco. While training under Gran Cochisse and El Satánico, he changed his ring character to Ángel de Plata, complementing his brother's character. On September 25, Ángel de Plata participated in the Torneo Gran Alternativa ("Great Alternative Tournament"), where an experienced wrestler teams up with a newcomer. He and Héctor Garza defeated Averno and Pólvora in the first round before losing to La Ola Amarilla (Naito and Okumura) in the semi-finals.

Los Ángeles Celestiales then lost to Los Cancerberos del Infierno (Euforia, Pólvora and Virus) in the first round of a tournament to crown new Mexican National Trios Champions, beginning a rivalry between the two groups, who faced off on various CMLL shows, including Super Viernes. On July 18, 2010, Ángel de Plata was one of twelve men who put their mask on the line in the main event steel cage match of Infierno en el Ring ("Inferno in the Ring"). During the match, he tricked his brother Ángel de Oro to escape the cage. After he unmasked Fabián el Gitano, winning the Lucha de Apuestas ("bet match") portion, Ángel de Plata returned to the ring to celebrate with him, indicating no hard feelings about his earlier tactics. On January 1, 2011, Ángel de Plata competed in the Reyes del Aire ("Kings of the Air") tournament, where he eliminated Puma King before being eliminated at the same time as Arkangel de la Muerte. He and Blue Panther were defeated by El Hijo del Signo and Mr. Niebla in the first round of that year's Torneo Gran Alternativa on March 25. The following month, Ángel de Plata competed in the Forjando un Ídolo ("Forging an Idol") tournament as part of Group Delta, but failed to advance past the first round with losses to Magnus, Fuego and Pólvora.

Niebla Roja and Los Guerreros Laguneros (2012–2017) On March 30, 2012, Ángel de Plata underwent a complete character overhaul, turning rudo and becoming Niebla Roja ("Red Mist"), debuting a new mask and attire; he and Último Guerrero participated in the Torneo Gran Alternativa that same day. They defeated La Máscara and Pegasso in the first round before losing to Dragon Lee and Rush in the quarter-finals. On July 6, Roja was named the newest member of Guerrero's stable, Los Guerreros del Infierno.

At the CMLL 79th Anniversary Show on September 14, Roja, Ephesto and Mephisto defeated Delta, Stuka Jr. and Valiente. He was forced to team with Los Revolucionarios del Terrors Dragón Rojo Jr. for the Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increibles ("National Incredible Pairs Tournament") on March 8, 2013, advancing to the semi-finals by defeating Rush and El Terrible and Blue Panther and Rey Escorpión, before losing to Guerrero and Atlantis. On September 13, Roja and stablemate Euforia teamed with Mephisto to defeat Brazo de Plata, Máximo and Titán at the CMLL 80th Anniversary Show. Roja won his first title on March 28, 2014, when he, Euforia and Guerrero defeated Los Estetas del Aire (Dorada, Místico and Valiente) for the CMLL World Trios Championship. On April 27, he competed in the Reyes del Aire, eliminating Guerrero Maya Jr. before being eliminated by eventual winner Stuka Jr. On June 1, Roja failed to win the Mexican National Welterweight Championship from Titán. For holding a championship, he competed in the Universal Championship tournament, but lost to Diamante Azul in the first round on October 22. In early 2015, Roja feuded with now-técnico Dragón Rojo Jr., but failed to win his CMLL World Middleweight Championship on February 3. Ten days later, Sky Team (Místico, Valiente and Volador Jr.) defeated Roja, Euforia and Guerrero for the trios championship.

At Homenaje a Dos Leyendas on March 17, 2017, Los Guerreros Laguneros lost to Dragon Lee, Stuka Jr. and Titán. During this time, Roja entered a storyline involving conflicts with his fellow teammates, accidentally causing them to lose matches due to miscommunication between him, Euforia and Gran Guerrero. As the storyline progressed, Roja refused to participate in double or triple teaming an opponent, a common rudo practice by Los Guerreros. On May 19, Roja officially turned técnico by kicking Los Guerreros leader Último Guerrero in the face during a match, resulting in both Guerreros attacking him, tearing off his mask and demanding him to come up with a new one; he was aided by his brother, Ángel de Oro.

Los Hermanos Chávez (2017–present) On June 10, Roja won a ten-man torneo cibernetico, last eliminating Bárbaro Cavernario, to win the vacant CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship. Ten days later, he unsuccessfully challenged Guerrero for the NWA World Historic Middleweight Championship. The long running storyline with Los Guerreros, particularly with Gran Guerrero, culminated in a mask vs. mask Lucha de Apuestas in the main event of the CMLL 84th Anniversary Show on September 16, where Niebla Roja was defeated by Guerrero, thus forcing him to unmask and state his legal name: Sergio Raymundo Chávez Velasco. On February 2, 2018, Roja and Guerrero lost in the quarter-finals of the Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increíbles to Mephisto and Místico. At Homenaje a Dos Leyendas on March 16, Roja, Atlantis and Matt Taven defeated Los Guerreros. Later that night, his brother lost his mask to El Cuatrero. On July 17, Roja successfully defended the light heavyweight championship against Sansón. Later that year, he began a storyline rivalry with veteran wrestler Rey Bucanero, whom he defeated in a Lucha de Apuestas on November 18, forcing Bucanero to be shaved bald. After several matches between the two sides, they all signed a contract for a Lucha de Apuestas in the main event of Homenaje a Dos Leyendas on March 15, where Los Hermanos Chavez defeated Los Ingobernables, forcing both El Terrible and La Bestia del Ring to have all their hair shaved off. On April 19, Roja and El Terrible lost to Último Guerrero and Volador Jr. in the first round of the Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increíbles, in part due to miscommunication between the two. He, his brother and Mephisto defeated Euforia, Gran Guerrero and Soberano Jr. at the CMLL 86th Anniversary Show on September 27.

In late 2020, despite being booked as técnicos, Roja and his brother began showing rudo tendencies. During the Leyenda de Azul ("The Blue Legend") tournament on November 27, in which Roja was eliminated, El Terrible hit Azul with a low blow, allowing Ángel de Oro to eliminate him for the win. Afterwards, they continued to work together under the name Terriblemente Chavez, although Roja and his brother were still referred to as tecnicos. On March 24, 2021, they cemented their rudo turn and joined El Terrible, forming Los Nuevos Ingobernables. On January 23, 2022, Roja and Ángel de Oro defeated Titán and Volador Jr. to win the CMLL World Tag Team Championship. He competed in that year's Universal Championship tournament on April 22, defeating El Sagrado in the first round and Hechicero in the quarter-finals, before losing to Titán in the semi-finals. On July 15, Roja lost his CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship to Cavernario. On September 2, he competed in the semi-finals of the Copa Independencia ("Independence Cup") tournament, but was the last wrestler eliminated from the torneo cibernetico by Místico.

At the CMLL 91st Anniversary Show on September 13, 2024, Roja, Ángel de Oro and Soberano Jr. defeated Neón, Star Jr. and Templario. At Homenaje a Dos Leyendas on March 21, 2025, Los Hermanos Chavez successfully defended the CMLL World Tag Team Championship against Rocky Romero and Volador Jr. At the CMLL 92nd Anniversary Show on September 19, they retained the title against El Hijo del Villano III and Villano III Jr. On November 14, Los Hermanos Chavez defeated Templario and TJP to win the Strong Openweight Tag Team Championship.

New Japan Pro-Wrestling (2014–2020) From January 14 to 19, 2014, Roja made his debut in Japan by participating in the New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) and CMLL co-produced Fantastica Mania 2014 tour. In January 2018, following his mask loss, he successfully defended the CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship against Bárbaro Cavernario as part of the Fantastica Mania 2018 tour.
