Cezar Bononi performed for the WWE under the NXT brand from 2015 until being released in 2020 before AEW picked him up amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and has made him a regular fixture of the Dark brand. He would also begin to appear in Game Changer Wrestling and other independent promotions.
WWC has announced a full line-up for the ‘La Hora De La Verdad’ event. It will not be streaming anywhere as WWC has shied away from the idea for many years. It will instead air on its weekly Saturday and Sunday TV shows.
The event will see the return of wrestler El Diabolico, and La Amazona, as guest referee. Her involvement is notable as she heads the ‘La Revolución Femenina’ (The Women’s Revolution) group. Fueling speculation as to if other women will be coming in to possibly re-establish a Women’s division in WWC. The event will also feature the in-ring debut of the young up-and-comer JC Jexxx, who made a quick impact in the seemingly collapsed LAWE last year.
