An update from Rugido.

Taking to his personal Facebook page, CMLL wrestler Rugido wrote a lengthy message and announced to the public that he is taking a break from wrestling after undergoing successful knee surgery.

Translation via Fightful’s Luis Pulido:

Hello friends, I want to share with you that it is time to take a necessary break from my career as an athlete to work on my recovery and rehabilitation, since the human being behind the mask needs his body, especially his knee, to recover after so many years of effort and dedication to making this dream called wrestling come true, and not just anywhere, but, thank God, joining the company I always dreamed of since I was a child, my home, CMLL.
Thanks to these wonderful years, I have had the opportunity to fulfill amazing dreams such as wrestling in Japan and the USA, as well as participating in important events in Mexico and around the world, achieving significant accomplishments such as becoming world champion and national tag team champion.
I am infinitely grateful to my company #CMLL, to the people involved for supporting and backing me from the very first second of what happened, to my boss Mr. Salvador Lutteroth Lomelí, and of course to the great doctors in charge at CEVAFIN Sports Medicine, who, thanks to their immediate attention and great professionalism, ensured my integrity.
My heartfelt and lifelong gratitude goes to Dr. Marco Acuña, Dr. Pao, and the medical team that performed this successful surgery.
To my doctor friends who have been looking after me with their care and attention. And from the bottom of my heart, thank you to my family, all my friends, and fans, who took the time to write to me during my absence from the Arena Mexico and Arena Puebla shows. Your messages and kindness have given me the wonderful blessing of feeling accompanied.
Now, friends, I will work to feel happy, fulfilled, and confident, as well as to deliver an improved version of myself in the ring. Greetings to all the press who have followed and reported on the growth of my career over the years.

Hugs from your friend RUGIDO.
