WWE star’s ex-boyfriend facing decades in prison after trying to kill her: report

That allowed him to briefly return to the lucha libre (wrestling) ring, albeit only on the independent circuit after larger organizations washed their hands of him, competing as recently as late April.

He was found guilty over the assault on Vaquer Wednesday and will reportedly be sentenced Tuesday.

Attempted femicide is a crime that carries a maximum sentence of 46 years in jail in Mexico while domestic violence is punishable by up to six years behind bars.

Vaquer first met Reyes when she fought as a luchadora in Mexico’s Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre, in which she performed between 2019 and 2024.

Having also previously spent time wrestling in Japan, she is now one of the top female stars in the WWE and became the first South American woman to win its championship belt last year.

Reyes is from a family of wrestlers from Jalisco and is the son of “Cien Caras,” the brother of “Sanson” and the cousin of “Forastero,” all well-known competitors.

Reyes and the younger members of his family fought as a trio known as “Nueva Generacion Dinamita” (New Generation Dynamite), a successor outfit to “Los Hermanos Dinamita” (The Dynamite Brothers) formed by his father and uncles.

Together they won both the Mexican National Trios Championship and the Occidente Trios Championship while El Cuatrero has also been crowned CMLL World Middleweight Champion as a solo participant.
