Averno's name has been linked to WWE since Sin Cara signed and was even one of the guys he was working against in his highlight video before he debuted plus he tried out with him last October.
The deal didn't get done though until recently when WWE reps asked Sin Cara who would he like to have as an opponent since most of the WWE guys haven't adapted to him yet so he suggested his natural rival and friend Averno.
Averno is being rumored to be coming in as an unmasked heel but that can change easily but this is a huge blow to EMLL as Averno has been right up there with Ultimo Guerrero as the lead rudos.
The scuttlebutt is that Averno hasn't told EMLL yet that he was leaving only that he wanted to lose his mask and if they didn't oblige him then he would lose it on an independent show.
The political environment in the promotion right now is pretty shaky and this will only serve to make it more uneasy for everyone. With this coming out in the media in Mexico, the chance of EMLL changing their minds regarding the mask match is likely and could lead to chaos but we will see.
