Universo 2000

Return to CMLL By mid-1996 Los Hermanos left AAA and returned to CMLL where they would become regular competitors for the next decade. The trio began working regularly with Apolo Dantés, forming a group called Los Capos ("The Bosses"), a rudo group that were heavily featured in CMLL's heavyweight division. In late 1997 Steel, then CMLL World Heavyweight Champion left CMLL to work for the World Wrestling Federation, vacating the championship. CMLL decided that instead of holding a tournament they booked a match with the three top heavyweights in the promotion at the time, with the winner becoming the next champion. On October 19, 1997, Universo 2000 defeated Cien Caras and Rayo de Jalisco, Jr. to win the championship. Universo 2000 became the only three time CMLL World Heavyweight Champion when he defeated Mr. Niebla on October 12, 2004.

Los Invasores and independent circuit

In the 2010s Universo 2000 began working a more reduced schedule, working on select dates on the independent circuit, occasional appearances for International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG), where he teamed with his brother Máscara Año 2000. On May 10, 2010, during a match between Los Independientes and CMLL wrestlers, Universo 2000 and Máscara Año 2000 ran in to help Los Independientes beat up their opponents. The two sided with Los Independientes (Later renamed Los Invasores) in the storyline between independent wrestlers and CMLL. Both Universo 2000 and Máscara Año 2000 wrestled for CMLL for a period of time, including a singles match between long time rivals Universo 2000 and Rayo de Jalisco, Jr. for Rayo's WWA World Heavyweight Championship which Rayo de Jalisco, Jr. won. From late 2010 until early 2013 Universo 2000 worked select matches on the independent circuit, but made his return to CMLL in early 2013 during their press conference for the 2013 Homenaje a Dos Leyendas ("Homage to two legends") show where he challenged Rayo de Jalisco, Jr. to another match. The match was booked for the Dos Leyendas show with Universo 2000 teaming up with Mr. Niebla and El Terrible to lose to Rayo, Jr. Shocker and Rush.

Personal life Andrés Reyes was the youngest of the Reyes brothers to turn professional. His oldest brother Carmelo Reyes González wrestled as "Cien Caras" for many years and retired in 2005. His second oldest brother Jesús Reyes González wrestles as Máscara Año 2000 and several of his nephews have become professional wrestlers under the ring names El Hijo de Máscara Año 2000, Forastero, El Cuatrero and Sansón. In recent years Universo 2000 Jr. has begun working Mexico and he is believed to be a son of Andrés Reyes. Despite using the names El Hijo de Cien Caras ("The Son of Cien Caras") and Cien Caras, Jr. neither wrestler were actually related to the Reyes family but instead paid for the rights to use the ring characters and masks. The Mini-Estrella Pequeño Universo 2000 is also not a Reyes family member but a Mini who was allowed to use the name and mask some years ago when Universo 2000 still wrestled in CMLL and continues to use the character to this date. Almost a year later, on May 1, 2018, Reyes died at the age of 55.
