Similar to Jack Evans and Angelico, Vibora largely competed in trios matches while with Lucha Underground as part of The Reptile Tribe, and was undoubtedly the biggest breakout star of the group.

He seemed primed to branch out on his own eventually but was "killed off" by Taya during the show's fourth season. Thankfully, that proved he was more than a flash in the pan, as he officially adopted the Luchasaurus name and went on to compete for a handful of promotions such as IMPACT Wrestling, Ring of Honor, and House of Hardcore in early 2019.

All of the momentum he built up ultimately earned him a spot in the Casino Battle Royale at AEW All Out and a contract with the company soon after. Although he didn't win the Battle Royale, he did turn a ton of heads with his impressive performance by lasting until the very end.

His alliance with Jungle Boy and Marko Stunt has been an absolute treat to watch, and within a matter of months, they have quickly become one of the most popular acts on the entire roster. Their connection with the crowd has yet to translate to any in-ring success, but their matches have been memorable enough that it's merely a matter of time before they're holding gold.

In fact, Luchasaurus may be world championship material down the road if AEW plays their cards right.
