Volador Jr.
On June 20, 2012, Volador Jr. formed the "Los Depredadores del Aire" ("The Predators of the Air") group alongside Black Warrior and Mr. Águila. Two days later, "Los Depredadores del Aire" defeated "Los Reyes de la Atlantida" (Atlantis, Delta and Guerrero Maya Jr.) to win the Mexican National Trios Championship. For July 29, Volador Jr. traveled to Tokyo, Japan, in an attempt to regain the NWA World Historic Middleweight Championship from Prince Devitt, but would eventually fail in his title challenge. The following month, Volador Jr. started a rivalry with Mr. Niebla, for which he was positioned as a "tecnico" even though still being a part of "rudo" stable "Los Invasores". On October 30, "Los Depredadores del Aire" lost the Mexican National Trios Championship back to "Los Reyes de la Atlantida". On January 22, 2013, Volador Jr. survived a "torneo cibernetico" to advance to a final match for the vacant CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship against the other survivor, Rey Escorpión. On January 29, Volador Jr. was defeated in the finals of the tournament by Escorpión. Following their clash over the Reyes del Aire trophy, Volador Jr. and La Sombra were teamed up for the 2013 "Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increibles" tournament, the same tournament that in 2010 was the impetus for Volador Jr.'s "rudo" turn. The rivals put their issues aside for the tournament defeating the teams of Guerrero Maya Jr. and Negro Casas, La Máscara and Averno and finally Shocker and Mr. Niebla to qualify for the finals of the tournament. On March 15, 2013, at the 2013 "Homenaje a Dos Leyendas" show, Volador Jr. and La Sombra defeated Altantis and Último Guerrero to win the "Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increibles". The truce between La Sombra and Volador Jr. that allowed them to win the tag team tournament only lasted until the next time the two rivals were in the same ring. On Sunday, February 17, 2013, La Sombra teamed up with Marco Corleone and Místico "La Nueva Era" against Volador Jr., Euforia and Último Guerrero. During the match Volador Jr. attacked both La Sombra and the referee, causing a disqualification before leaving the ring and his confused partners behind. On September 13 at CMLL's 80th Anniversary Show, Volador Jr. and La Sombra defeated Atlantis and Último Guerrero in a "Relevos Suicidas" match and thus advanced to a Mask vs. Mask "Lucha de Apuestas" against each other. In the end, Volador Jr. was defeated and forced to unmask and reveal his real name.
