Guerrero and his training partner Super Punk changed their names in 1996 with Guerrero adpoting the " Último Guerrero " name and Super Punk becoming " Último Rebelde " as they started teaming together using a hooligan inspired gimmick . The team was scheduled to lose their masks in a " Luchas de Apuestas mask vs . mask " match ( a " Bet match " where the loser would unmask ) , but instead Último Guerrero decided to sign with Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre ( CMLL ) in late 1997 and thus saved his mask . Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre . Initially Guerrero worked lower card matches , in the first to third match on the show with some success . On September 11 , 1998 he defeated Mr . Águila in his first ever mask vs . mask match forcing his opponent to unmask and reveal his real name . As Mr . Águila already worked for the World Wrestling Federation without the mask it was not seen as a surprise . In 1999 Último Guerrero teamed up with veteran Blue Panther to win the Gran Alternativa tournament where a young wrestler teams with a veteran in an 8 team tournament . Winning the Gran Alternativa tournament is usually a sign that the promotion has plans to move a wrestler up the rankings . Shortly after winning the tournamentwards , Guerrero won a match to become the number one contender for Great Sasuke ' s NWA World Middleweight Championship .

Niebla and Villaño IV to win their first CMLL World Tag Team Title . During the spring of 2001 the Nuevo Infernales storyline took a turn as Guerrero and Bucanero began to act more and more like Satánico was holding the young team back . This tension led to Guerrero and Bucanero turning against Satánico during a match where Satánico was facing Tarzan Boy , causing him the match . Afterwards all three wrestlers united , stating that they were kicking Satánico out of the group and replacing him with Tarzan Boy . The trio was later expanded by Máscara Mágica , who was filling in for an injured Tarzan Boy and ended up staying with the group after he returned . The storyline between Satánico and Los Nuevo Infernales continued on as Satánico began to assemble his own group of " Nuevo Infernales " recruitng Averno and Mephisto to join his group . Before joining the storyline both Averno and Mephisto had worked for CMLL in low card matches and were repackaged with in - ring personas that fit with the " Nuevo Infernales " image . The two groups of Infernales met in a three on four Steel cage match where the winning team would earn the right to be called " Los Nuevo Infernales " which was the main event of the CMLL 68th Anniversary Show . In the end Máscara Mágica was the last man in the cage , giving Satánico ' s group the victory and the rights to the name . Los Guerreros de Infierno .
