Карлито
While Vega continued pursuing a feud with Carly Colón in WWC, the angle between The Academy and the Illegal Faction evolved to include the Extreme Wrestling Organization, by now the largest independent promotion and de facto third main contender in Puerto Rico. This occurred when an unmasked Cotto won the EWO World Heavyweight Championship only to be confronted by Pérez, who claimed that he still had a contract with IWA. The feud was supposed to continue at Histeria Boricua 2012, but The Academy no-showed the event and he was stripped of the Undisputed World Championship. The event went on to conclude with EWO's first contender claiming the title. The stable reappeared four days later, holding a reunion with Vega, only to officially leave the promotion on February 13, 2012. By concluding this run, Angel became the first full-time wrestler to hold a perfect record in either of the main promotions. His official IWA record in singles competition is 12 wins by pinfall, 0 losses and 3 no contests, with all of his opponents having held a title within the promotion at least once, including five former Undisputed or Universal World Heavyweight Champions.
