Professional wrestling career
[edit]Independent circuit (2018–2025)
[edit]Zozaya made his professional wrestling debut on October 6, 2018.[4]
He became one of the most prominent wrestlers on the Spanish independent wrestling scene and gained international recognition through appearances in the United Kingdom, Mexico and Japan. During this period, he wrestled for promotions including PROGRESS Wrestling, Revolution Pro Wrestling, Pro Wrestling Noah and Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre.[2]
Zozaya gained recognition through his work in the United Kingdom with Revolution Pro Wrestling (RevPro). On December 21, 2024, he defeated Leon Slater in a sudden-death Iron Man match at Uprising 2024.[5] During his time with the promotion, he also competed in RevPro's number one contender tournaments.[6] Following his final match for the promotion against Zack Sabre Jr. at the RevPro 13th Anniversary Show event in August 2025, the locker room gave him a standing ovation as a sendoff before his reported move to WWE.[7] Sabre later praised Zozaya, stating that he would be "shocked" if he was not "on top of the industry very, very soon".[8]
Zozaya also competed for PROGRESS Wrestling, including appearances in the 2025 Super Strong Style 16 tournament where he would defeat Kid Lykos II in the first round before subsequently being defeated by Leon Slater in the second round.[9][10]
Internationally, Zozaya wrestled in Mexico through RevPro and Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre's Fantastica Mania UK events in 2024,[11][12] and in Japan for Pro Wrestling Noah, appearing at events including The New Year 2025 and Star Navigation Premium 2025.[13][14]
WWE (2025–present)
