These two were what some say the future of Lucha Libre and wrestling as a whole. However, the tag teams momentum would be stopped as Gretery suffered a knee injury that put him out of action for about almost a year. In that time El Rayo Dorado continued to work shows while Gretery recovered from his injury. Going into 2016 Dorado was on the verge of winning his first singles title until Gretery returned, then winning the Cruiserweight Championship. After Gretery won the Cruiserweight AAA creative decided to disband the team of the two friends to further push Gretery. Not pleased with this Dorado expressed his frustrations in a promo on their weekly shows.

A week after Karl's arrival Gretery cut a promo on the matter, sending a message to him and his father.

> "*My father brought in that man because he didn't have the chance to bring me in. He wishes he could've blessed me to continue his legacy, but instead he brought in a nobody. I am his son, but I've began my own legacy that I'll gladly pass down to my children, unlike him. He's Karl Stone. But me? I'm Gretery, you're Latin American Champion!*" - Gretery, 2019 (Translated from Spanish)
