Ángel Rebelde (born April 25, 1997, in Querétaro City, Querétaro)[3] is a Mexican professional wrestler currently working for the Mexican promotionConsejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), portraying a tecnico ("Good guy") wrestling character. 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]
Ángel Rebelde is the son of Mister Rebelde, a locally famous Querétaro wrestler mostly active during the 1980s.[4] His nickname is Líder de la Corte Celestial.

Ángel Rebelde started his career in 2010, making his debut on his 13th birthday.[3] He initially worked locally in Querétaro and Guanajuato state with promotions such as Generación 21, Promociones Tao and Desastre Total Ultraviolento.[3] He also worked dark matches for Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide whenever they had shows in Querétaro.[3]
On the 15th of October 2017, he won the Querétaro State Lightweight Title after defeating Fuego Latino and Mike Suicida.[5] In 2018 he began a long lasting rivalry with fellow Querétaro local Último Soldado, which culminated with a mask vs. hair match on June 30, 2019, which Rebelde won.[6] With time he moved up the cards in his local area but like most professional wrestlers struggled with work during 2020.[7]
December 25, 2021, Angel Rebelde would return to Querétaro for the yearly Christmas Day show in Arena Querétaro, the largest arena in the area, where he defeated long time Querétaro wrestler Homicida in a mask vs. mask match.[8]
His definite move to Mexico City came when he was invited to participate for the Guadalajara team in CMLL's new 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. The tournament took place in March 2023.[11] Ángel Rebelde and his Guadalajara team managed to defeat both the Puebla and Mexico City team on consecutive shows, and won the tournament.[12][13] Since winning the tournament, Ángel Rebelde and a select few of the other participants has become a part of the CMLL roster.[3] On April 1, 2023, he was one of the participants in a 2023 New Generation Tourney match as part of Arena Coliseo 80th anniversary.[14]
