Rayo Metálico (born May 1, 1998) is a Mexican professional wrestler working for the Mexican promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). His real name is not a matter of public record, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans.[1] Rayo Metálico is a former Mexican National Lightweight Champion. Metalico is the son of luchador Panchito Robles Jr., making him part of the Mar family.[2] He is thus the second cousin of Stigma and Skandalo, a cousin once-removed of La Briosa and Black Cat, and a grandnephew of Sugi Sito.
After winning a qualifier in Puebla, together with Meyer,[3] Rayo Metálico participated in a multi-man elimination match to crown a new Mexican National Lightweight Champion on 30 July 2023, which was won by Futuro, who became the new champion.[4][5] The concept of the tournament was that two wrestlers from Guadalajara, Mexico City, Puebla and Laguna respectively competed for the title.[3]
In February 2024, Rayo Metálico took part in the Torneo de Escuelas tournament, where the CMLL trainees from Mexico City, Puebla, Guadalajara and Comarca Lagunera competed against each other in a series of multi-man matches. He and his Puebla team reached the final where they lost to the Mexico City team.[6][7] On September 27, 2024, at CMLL Noche de Campeones, Rayo Metálico defeated Futuro to win the Mexican National Lightweight Championship.[8] He was not given an opportunity to defend it until 18 months later on March 23, 2026, where he lost the title to Calavera Jr. I in his family's home-base Arena Puebla,[9] (shortly after his family were replaced as CMLL's promoters for the Puebla region).[10]
