Averno sings with the E

[Christian]

Super Luchas reported today that Averno has signed a deal with WWE and would be dropping his mask against La Mascara on 6/17 at Arena Mexico. Averno’s name has been linked to WWE since Sin Cara signed and was even one of the guys he was working against in his highlight video before he debuted plus he tried out with him last October. The deal didn’t get done though until recently when WWE reps asked Sin Cara who would he like to have as an opponent since most of the WWE guys haven’t adapted to him yet so he suggested his natural rival and friend Averno. Averno is being rumored to be coming in as an unmasked heel but that can change easily but this is a huge blow to EMLL as Averno has been right up there with Ultimo Guerrero as the lead rudos. The scuttlebutt is that Averno hasn’t told EMLL yet that he was leaving only that he wanted to lose his mask and if they didn’t oblige him then he would lose it on an independent show. The political environment in the promotion right now is pretty shaky and this will only serve to make it more uneasy for everyone. With this coming out in the media in Mexico, the chance of EMLL changing their minds regarding the mask match is likely and could lead to chaos but we will see.

Ummm. Im a fan of Lucha's and Averno is right up there as one of the best! This tells me that WWE may be desperate for Sin Cara to find a wrestler who can have actual chemistry with. Sin really has not been a hit since he joined, but it takes time. Maybe Mistico was better of staying with CMLL. :timeout:

Its CMLL Not EMLL

(And I almost forgot, Edit the topic title)
Anyway I Will be glad to see another Luchador in the WWE :B-)

Yea hopefully the chemistry between the two translates well into other feuds down the line.

 

[ZOMB13]

Wish he would keep his mask though :/

Indeed. Interesting. It seems this time around the luchadors are not riding lawn-mowers to the ring, thankfully.

There is also word WWE is looking to sign two more CMLL wrestlers. If WWE was so dissatisfied with Sin Cara, he wouldn't be undefeated and would be jobbing all the time. He is HHH's pet project, he will be fine. I twas known when he signed it would take time for him to get used to the style. I should point out WWE went and asked Sin Cara who he would most like to work with, and he suggested Averno. Things online get blown way out of proportion.

Fans love him, that is a success, not how WWE sees him.

Great for him for now.Excepting Rey Mysterio highflyers can't have a bright future in WWE.Look at how they use Mistico.CMLL,AAA and TNA(at least it was before 2009) are the only places where these luchadores can be used good.

As I know this guy is also a little old(33-34 I think) and this is another reason I don't see him doing well in WWE.He probobaly will spend at least an year in fcw and when he will be called up to the main roster he will be 35.
