At Joey Janela’s Spring Break 9, the fiery luchador Fuego Del Sol revealed his mask and declared his retirement from professional wrestling in a moving and emotional scene.

The occasion, which took place on April 17, 2025, signaled the conclusion of a ten-year career in which Fuego rose from amateur wrestling to the national ring.

The Final Match: Mask vs. Career

Atticus Cogar and Fuego Del Sol engaged in a high-stakes Mask vs. Career fight. When Cogar used a taser on Fuego and then a top-rope DDT over a garbage can, the fight came to a vicious end and Fuego lost.

The condition required Fuego to take off the mask he had worn during his career. He announced his retirement from the sport by leaving his boots in the middle of the ring as a symbolic gesture.

A Journey from Backyard Wrestling to AEW

Fuego Del Sol, who was born KJ Orso in Mobile, Alabama, started wrestling in 2014. He first gained popularity as Kage, a character he played in Kids Backyard Wrestling (KBW).

His drive and commitment brought him to the independent circuit, where he refined his skills prior to participating in bigger promotions.

When Fuego joined All Elite Wrestling (AEW) in 2020, his persistence paid off. Despite a difficult start, which included a 34-game losing run, he was given a full-time deal in 2021 because of his charisma and affinity for the supporters.

Notably, he gained more popularity among the AEW audience thanks to his connection with Sammy Guevara and his appearances on Guevara’s vlog.

Reflections and Future Endeavors

Fuego Del Sol has been open about the uncertainties in his life and profession in the months before he retired. Fans were worried about his well-being and future plans after he posted a mysterious message on social media that hinted to major changes.

Fuego’s exit from the ring signifies the end of an important chapter in his life, even though he has not disclosed his post-wrestling plans. Aspiring wrestlers and viewers alike find encouragement in his path from backyard wrestling to the national limelight.

Fuego Del Sol’s legacy as a passionate performer and adored personality in the industry will surely live on as the wrestling community says goodbye to him.
