Known for his high-flying offensive move-set, Dorado had been getting “Lucha Lit” wrestling around the world since his WWE departure in 2021. Now, he’s back – with a dual role. In addition to competing for the developmental brand, Dorado has been hired as a coach for NXT at the Performance Center.

He wrote on Twitter that he’s back with “positive vibes only,” and is looking forward to teaching the next generation of high flyers. He also updated his Twitter bio to reflect his new role as coach.

Dorado’s return aligns with WWE’s continued emphasis on enhancing its developmental system. His deep experience in lucha libre and years with WWE make him a valuable asset in training the next generation of wrestlers, particularly those who specialize in high-flying styles.
