After his match on social media Fuego Del Sol published an emotional post using his real name KJ Orso.
He summarized his 11-year wrestling history to share his achievements and problems before choosing to support his family. He decided to end his career by giving up his boots alongside everything else he put into the match.
From AEW Underdog to Independent Scene Hero
In 2014 Fuego launched his wrestling career on independent promotions throughout Oklahoma and Texas. His energy and drive made All Elite Wrestling (AEW) take notice and they offered him the opportunity to debut in 2020.
His determination to press forward after losing matches resulted in AEW offering him a long-term working agreement in 2021. A major foot injury and the end of the YouTube shows forced Fuego Del Sol to leave All Elite Wrestling in 2023.
After leaving the independent scene Fuego delivered thrilling shows to his fans. He concluded his performance at Spring Break 9 by showing how he stayed committed to his fans throughout his career.
Wrestling fans across different communities sent him endless praise when he made the choice to unretire and unmask.
Although Fuego Del Sol has retired from matches he continues pursuing his love for wrestling through different roles. He told interviewers in 2022 that he wants to work as a commentator, manager and coach in professional wrestling as shown by his commitment to continue growing his career.
People support Fuego Del Sol as he starts a new phase of his career and expect his impact to grow in and out of the wrestling arena.
