He’s recently been competing for Ring of Honor, having debuted for that company during their television tapings on Jan. 3.
There’s no word yet as to whether his new deal with Lucha Underground will affect his ability to work for any other promotions.
Both TNA Wrestling and MMA company Bellator have recently shown interest in signing El Patron.
You can catch him on Lucha Underground on Wednesday nights at 8 p.m. on the El Ray Network,
Editor’s Note
El Patron will add more credibility to a Lucha Underground brand that’s slowly building a loyal and devote fan base.
