Born on December 9, 1992, in Melbourne, Australia, Shepherd was a trailblazer who left his home country at just 19 to pursue his dream of becoming a professional wrestler in Mexico. His high-flying, daring style and magnetic persona made him a standout performer in Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA), where he became a former AAA World Cruiserweight Champion.

Shepherd’s career was defined by his ability to captivate audiences, whether as a masked técnico or as the unmasked anti-hero who thrived on the crowd\’s disdain. Beyond his in-ring accomplishments, he was admired for his charisma and dedication to his craft.

He is survived by his partner, fellow wrestler Vanilla Vargas, and their child. May he rest in peace.
