About Averno

Born 1977. Averno is a Mexican professional wrestler.

Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (2014–2021) La Sociedad (2014–2016)

On May 17, 2014, Averno made his debut for Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA), joining the rudo stable La Sociedad. In a main event six-man tag team match, Averno teamed with Chessman and Pentagón Jr. to defeat Cibernético, Fénix and Psycho Clown, pinning Fénix for the win. After the match, Averno was attacked by an unnamed "mysterious wrestler", portrayed by his old rival Místico. On September 26, Averno and Chessman came together with Cibernético to reform the Los Hell Brothers stable, with Averno replacing former member Charly Manson for this incarnation of Los Hell Brothers. In February 2015, Los Hell Brothers officially joined La Sociedad. On June 14, at Verano de Escándalo, Averno won his first title in AAA, when Los Hell Brothers captured the AAA World Trios Championship. At Triplemanía XXIII on August 9, Los Hell Brothers successfully defended the AAA World Trios Championship in a steel cage match, defeating the trios of Fénix and Los Güeros del Cielo (Angélico and Jack Evans) and Los Perros del Mal (El Hijo del Fantasma, Pentagón Jr., El Texano Jr.). In late 2015, Cibernético left AAA, which forced AAA to strip Los Hell Brothers of the trios championship on January 6, 2016. On January 22, at Guerra de Titanes, Averno and Chessman won the vacant AAA World Tag Team Championship. However, immediately afterwards, La Sociedad turned on the two and expelled them from the group. Los Hell Brothers subsequently made several successful title defenses and began bragging about how there were no challengers left for them to deal with, that "no man" could defeat them.

In the spring of 2016, sisters-turned-rivals Mari Apache and Faby Apache reunited as Mari returned to the tecnico side and started to team up with her sister on a regular basis. At that point in time, the Apaches challenged Los Hell Brothers, demanding that they put the tag team championship on the line, a challenge that Averno and Chessman turned down, acting very dismissing and sexist in the process. During the July 8 AAA Television taping, Averno and Chessman dressed up as a pair of frumpy women as they mocked Los Apaches. At the subsequent taping, Los Apaches distracted Averno and Chessman during a title defense against Jack Evans and Angélico, which lead to Averno and Chessman losing the tag team championship. Afterwards, it was announced that Averno and Chessman had finally agreed to face Los Apaches on August 28 at Triplemanía XXIV. The match ended in a no-contest after Chessman and Averno hit the Apaches with fluorescent light tubes, causing Gran Apache to come to their aid.

Los OGT (2016–2021) Averno and Chessman then paired up with Ricky Marvin to form a new trio named Los OGT, winning the AAA World Trios Championship on November 4. They lost the title to El Apache, Faby Apache and Mary Apache on March 5, 2017, when Marvin was defeated by Faby in a singles match. Los OGT subsequently entered a feud with Nuevo Poder del Norte (Tito Santana, Carta Brava Jr. and Mocho Cota Jr.), who they defeated on November 3 to regain the title. However, they lost it back to them at Guerra de Titanes on January 26, 2018. At Rey de Reyes on March 4, they failed to regain the title in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match. The feud between the trios culminated in a Lucha de Apuestas match at Verano de Escándalo on June 3, which Los OGT won, forcing Nuevo Poder del Norte to have all of their hair shaved off. Averno left AAA in early 2021.

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (2008) In 2008, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) invited Averno, along with Volador Jr., Último Guerrero and Rey Bucanero to compete in the 2008 TNA World X Cup Tournament, making them that year's "Team Mexico" entrants, with Guerrero serving as the team captain. Averno only wrestled one match in the tournament, participating in a twelve-man three tag team elimination match at the Victory Road pay-per-view on July 13. Averno was the fourth man eliminated from the match by Team Japan's Masato Yoshino. Later that night, Volador Jr. won an Ultimate X match, earning enough points for Team Mexico to win the entire tournament, becoming the 2008 World X Cup holders. Exactly a year later, at Wrestle Kingdom IV, he and Último Guerrero unsuccessfully challenged Apollo 55 (Devitt and Taguchi) for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship. In January 2011, Averno returned to Japan for the inaugural two-night Fantastica Mania 2011 tour. On January 22, during the first night, Averno teamed with Shinsuke Nakamura and Tetsuya Naito to defeat Devitt, Hiroshi Tanahashi and Místico, whom he pinned, in a six-man tag team main event. After the match, he ripped off Místico's mask. The next night, he lost to Místico in a two-out-of-three falls match. On February 28, 2025, during the eighth night of the Fantastica Mania 2025 tour, Averno unsuccessfully challenged for Místico's MLW World Middleweight Championship.

In February 2026, during the Fantastica Mania 2026 tour, he and Magnus participated in a tag team tournament, defeating Stigma and Tiger Mask in the first round and Atlantis and Atlantis Jr. in the semi-finals, before losing to El Sky Team (Máscara Dorada and Místico) in the finals. During the sixth night of the tour, on February 26, Averno defeated Atlantis Jr. to win the NWA World Historic Light Heavyweight Championship.

Major League Wrestling (2020–2025) Averno made his debut for Major League Wrestling (MLW) on the April 18, 2020 episode of Fusion, defeating Douglas James. He next appeared at SuperFight on February 3, 2024, losing to Místico. On November 9, at Lucha Apocalypto, he unsuccessfully challenged Místico for the MLW World Middleweight Championship in a three-way match also involving Titán. Averno's last appearance for MLW was at Kings of Colosseum on January 11, 2025, defeating Esfinge and Máscara Dorada in a three-way match.

Return to CMLL (2021–present) Averno made his return to CMLL after a seven-year absence on October 6, 2021, reuniting and teaming with Mephisto to face old rival Místico and Volador Jr. in a losing effort. He unsuccessfully challenged Místico for the NWA World Historic Middleweight Championship on December 25. On February 25, 2022, Averno and Místico were paired for the Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increíbles and made it to the finals, where they lost to Atlantis Jr. and Stuka Jr. However, they won the following year's edition of the tournament by defeating Soberano Jr. and Templario in the finals on February 17, 2023. At Homenaje A Dos Leyendas on March 29, 2024, Averno defeated Bárbaro Cavernario to win the CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship. Months later, at Noche de Campeones on September 27, Los Infernales defeated Máscara Dorada, Neón and Star Jr. to win the CMLL World Trios Championship, making Averno a double champion. They held the titles until May 16, 2025, when they lost it to El Sky Team (Dorada, Místico and Neón). On May 27, Averno successfully defended the CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship against Místico. However, on August 1, he lost the title to MJF.

This return was also defined by renewed hostilities with Ultimo Guerrero, over the latter's betrayal of El Satanico in 2000 (which had in-turn birthed in Averno character). Starting in April 2022, The on-off feud saw them vie for a Lucha de Apuestas for one another's hair by unsuccessfully competing in multiple Relevos Suicida matches, including at the 89th and 92nd Anniversary Shows. At Homenaje a Dos Leyendas, an event which specifically honored Satanico, both were involved in a 6-man cibernetico match between various past-members of Los Infernales for the "Copa Infernal", which Averno won by last-eliminating Ultimo Guerrero with a low blow.
