About El Hijo del Vikingo

Born 1997. El Hijo del Vikingo is a Mexican professional wrestler.

AAA Mega Champion (2021–2025) Vikingo was due to face Kenny Omega for the AAA Mega Championship at Triplemanía Regia II, however, Omega was forced to pull out of the title defence and vacated the title due to requiring multiple surgeries. On November 22, AAA announced a new champion would be determined in a five-way match at the event. On December 4, 2021, at Triplemanía Regia II, Vikingo defeated Samuray Del Sol, Bobby Fish, Jay Lethal and Bandido to win the vacant AAA Mega Championship. The following day, he made his first successful title defence against Laredo Kid.

Vikingo began 2022 with back-to-back AAA Mega title defences against Aramis on the January 27, 2022, episode of MLW's Azteca and Johnny Superstar at Rey de Reyes. At Triplemanía XXX: Monterrey, on April 30, Vikingo teamed with Fénix in a losing effort against The Young Bucks. The following Triplemania XXX: Tijuana show on June 18 saw Vikingo on the losing end again, failing to win the AAA World Cruiserweight and Latin American Championships in a five-way match won by Fénix. At Triplemanía XXX: Mexico City, on October 15, Vikingo successfully defended the AAA Mega Championship against Fénix in a match where the Cruiserweight and Latin American titles were not on the line. Despite a generally mixed year in terms of results, Vikingo was ranked eighth in Pro Wrestling Illustrated's 2022 PWI 500, the highest ranked Mexican wrestler since Alberto Del Rio in 2013. After suffering an injury, he vacated the title on March 17, 2024, ending his reigns with 833 days as champion.

On April 19, 2025, during WrestleMania 41 weekend, El Hijo del Vikingo's contract was acquired by WWE, who also purchased the entire promotion. On Night 1 of WrestleMania, Vikingo was ringside during Rey Fenix's match with El Grande Americano. He got physically involved with the latter after Americano cheated to win the match. On May 31, 2025, Vikingo defeated Alberto El Patrón at Alianzas to win the AAA Mega Championship for the second time. At the WWE and AAA event Worlds Collide on June 7, Vikingo successfully defended the title against Chad Gable. On August 16, 2025, at Triplemanía XXXIII, Vikingo again successfully defended his title in a fatal-four-way match against Dragon Lee, Dominik Mysterio and El Grande Americano (now portrayed by Ludwig Kaiser following Chad Gable's injury). Vikingo was subsequently challenged by Mysterio to a match for the championship at the upcoming Worlds Collide in September. Vikingo would appear on the August 18 episode of WWE Raw, aiding Dragon Lee against an attack from The Judgment Day only to be taken down by Mysterio. At the next WWE and AAA event Worlds Collide: Las Vegas on September 12, Vikingo lost the title to Mysterio after interference from Americano, ending his second reign at 104 days.

Championship pursuits (2025–present) On October 25 at Héroes Inmortales, Vikingo turned heel by displaying a cocky attitude and berating the fans, after months of being booed by the audience prior, before he was interrupted by El Grande Americano. His heel turn was solidified on the main event of the November 22 edition of AAA Alianzas when he walked off on Dragon Lee.

On March 14, 2026, at Rey de Reyes, Vikingo failed to regain the Mega Championship from Dominik Mysterio and per the added stipulation of the match, Vikingo is no longer allowed to challenge for the title as long as Mysterio is champion. On May 30, at the AAA Noche de los Grandes event; Vikingo won the AAA Latin American Championship from El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. after outside help from Omos. On the June 30 episode of NXT he was scheduled to defend the title against EK Prosper. In storyline Vikingo suffered a knee injury after an attack by Keanu Carver. On the July 3rd episode of SmackDown, Vikingo unsuccessfully challenged Rey Fenix for the AAA Cruiserweight championship. On July 11 episode of Lucha Libre AAA, the Latin American Championship was vacated due to Vikingo suffering a knee injury. It was later reported that Vikingo had suffered a torn ACL.

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (2018–2025) Due to AAA's alliance with American promotion Impact Wrestling, Vikingo made a special appearance on the January 12, 2019 edition of TNA Impact!, which was taped January 11–12, 2019 at Mexico City's Frontón México Entertainment Center. He was defeated by the Impact X Division Champion Rich Swann. Vikingo teamed up with Aero Star, Psycho Clown and Puma King in an Elimination Match where they defeated Eddie Edwards, Eli Drake, Fallah Bahh and Sami Callihan winning the Impact World Cup.

On October 27, 2024, after just returning to in-ring action from a knee injury, it was reported that Vikingo had suffered a leg injury during a taping of Impact!.

At Rebellion, Vikingo competed in an Ultimate X match for TNA X Division Championship which was won by Moose.

All Elite Wrestling / Ring of Honor (2023–2024)

Vikingo made his debut for All Elite Wrestling (AEW) on the March 22, 2023 edition of Dynamite, where he was defeated by Kenny Omega in the main event. On March 30, Vikingo made his debut for AEW's sister promotion Ring of Honor (ROH), defeating Blake Christian. The following day at Supercard of Honor, Vikingo successfully defended his AAA Mega Championship against Komander. Despite these appearances, Vikingo was never an official member of the AEW roster.
