Lince Dorado

After honing his craft around the world, including stops in Mexico and Japan, the Golden Lynx built a resume that spans nearly two decades of high-flying lucha libre. He won the 2008 Chikara King of Trios alongside El Pantera and Incognito and later captured the MLW World Middleweight Championship by defeating Shun Skywalker at Fightland on October 30, holding the title through successful defenses before losing it to Akira in a Triple Threat at War Chamber in April 2023. His signature arsenal — the Lynx-sault, Shooting Star Press, and Chikara Special — defines his style as one of lucha's most complete craftsmen.

Fresh off Rey Fenix winning the AAA World Cruiserweight Championship from Laredo Kid, Dorado is now the next man in line for a shot at the gold. At AAA Noche de Los Grandes Week 2 on June 6 at Arena Monterrey, he outlasted Joaquin Wilde, Octagon Jr., Mini Vikingo, and Cruz Del Toro in a Fatal Five-Way to earn the number-one contendership. Coming in on a winning streak, a showdown with Fenix is next.
