El Soberano or Soberano Jr. (born August 12, 1993 in Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico) is a Mexican luchador enmascarado, or masked professional wrestler currently working for the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) portraying a tecnico ("Good guy") wrestling character. Soberano Jr.'s 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.[3] He is a third generation wrestler, son of Euforia and grandson of Pablo Moreno Román, known under the ring name El Soberano. Soberano is Spanish for "Sovereign"

Professional wrestling career

Soberano Jr. was trained both by his grandfather Pablo Moreno Román, better known by his ring name Soberano and his father, best known under the ring name Euforia.[4] He made his professional wrestling debut at the age of only 13, working on the local independent circuit in Torreón, Coahuila.[1][2] During the early parts of his career he competed as El Nieto del Soberano ("The Grandson of Soberano") but later changed his name to Soberano Jr. or El Soberano Jr., the same ring name used by his father.

Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (2010–present)

He began training in Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) wrestling school and even competed in CMLL's 2010 Bodybuilding contest, before he had made his in ring debut for the company, he placed third in the beginners category.[5] He would not make his in ring debut for CMLL until six months later, on June 7, 2011 where he teamed up with Trueno losing to Semental and Apocalipsis in a match at Arena Mexico.[1][2][6] In March, 2012 Soberano Jr. was one of the participants in the Torneo Sangre Nueva("The New Blood Tournament") that featured 16 wrestlers classified as rookies, or at least rookie characters. Soberano Jr. competed in the "Block A" torneo cibernetico, eight-man elimination match and was eliminated as the third man, 10:12 into the match when he was pinned by Stigma.[7] During a match on the September 7, 2012 Super Viernes between the tag team of Soberano Jr. and Horus and Camorra and Inquisidor, Soberano Jr. was injured due to a mistimed move and was carried out of the arena on a stretcher.[8] Soberano Jr. would not wrestle again for over a month before making a full recovery. On February 26, 2013 Soberano Jr. outlasted Camaleón, Stigma, Horus, Hombre Bala Jr., Akuma, Espanto Jr., Herodes Jr., Cholo and Bobby Zavala to qualify for the finals of the 2013 Torneo Sangre Nueva.[9] Soberano Jr. defeated Taurus, two falls to one to win the 2013 Sangre Nueva tournament.[6] In late March 2013 Soberano Jr. was announced as one of the Novatos, or rookies, in the 2013 Torneo Gran Alternativa, or "Great Alternative tournament". The Gran Alternativa pairs a rookie with an experienced wrestler for a tag team tournament.[10] Soberano Jr. was teamed up with veteran wrestler La Sombra and competed in Block B that took place on the April 19, 2013 Super Viernes show. The team defeated Herodes Jr. and El Terrible in the first round, Sensei and Rush in the second round, but lost to Bobby Zavala and Rey Escorpión in the semi-finals.[11] On April 7, 2013 Soberano Jr. worked his first major CMLL event when he teamed up with Metatrón to defeat Espanto Jr. and Guerrero Negro Jr. in the opening match of the Arena Coliseo 70th Anniversary Show.[12][13]
