Futuro (born 2002) is a Mexican professional wrestler currently working for the promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), where he is a member of the Los Viajeros del Espacio ("The Space Travelers") stable. He also makes appearances for partner promotion New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). He is a former Mexican National Lightweight Champion and Mexican National Trios Champion.

Professional wrestling career

Early career (2018–2023)

Growing up, Futuro joined a lucha olímpica ("freestyle wrestling") club, where he became a national champion and competed internationally.[4] He entered professional wrestling through his uncle, Tony Aguirre, training under Jaque Mate and Arturo Beristain by the age of 16,[3][4] before making his debut in September 2018.[2] One of his earliest high profile matches saw him defeat Blue Monsther Jr., Corono de Fuego, Eurus, Farsante, Iron Kid, Mexica, Tempo and Magico in a nine-way match on December 25, 2019, to win Mi Sagrada Lucha Libre (MSLL)'s Copa Celeste.[5] On December 29, 2021, at their Noche de Campeones ("Night of Champions") event, Futuro defeated Yoruba and Nygma in a three-way match to win the MSLL Celeste Championship,[6] which he lost to Perseo on May 14, 2022.[7] Futuro appeared for International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) on December 18, representing MSLL in a four-way tag team match, which his team was unsuccessful in winning.[8]
