Alejandro Saez

2.1. Independent Circuit

Saez started his wrestling career in early 2002. In 2004, he made his debut in the Chilean promotion Xplosion Nacional de Lucha Libre (XNL) under the ring name Xtra Large, facing Perfect Bandy. In 2006, he began wrestling for Revolucion Lucha Libre (RLL), primarily competing in singles matches on the lower card before forming a tag team with Bunny. On April 30, 2006, the duo defeated Coyote 2.0 and Pensacola to win the RLL Tag Team Championships.

During his time in XNL, Saez defeated Giger to win the XNL World Championship following an extended feud. In February 2013, he represented XNL in the inaugural Torneo Latino Americano de Lucha Libre in São Paulo, Brazil. He was eliminated in the first round by Pro Wrestling Noah's Takeshi Morishima.

In 2015, Saez, alongside Ariki Toa, Lenko Sins, Solar Sanchez, Domina, and Sergio Catalan, formed a wrestling stable named L.A.D. within the Xtreme Latin American Wrestling promotion in Chile. The stable disbanded in 2016. On March 5, 2017, at a Campeonato Nacional de Lucha Libre (CNL Chile) event, Saez defeated Engranaje Jack to capture his first and only CNL Metropolitan Championship.

2.2. Pro Wrestling Noah

Saez made his Japanese debut on January 15, 2014, under the ring name XL, where he was defeated by Akitoshi Saito. During this initial three-month tour, he also briefly tagged with Bobby Fish and spent time living and training at the Pro Wrestling Noah dojo, engaging in daily training and associated duties alongside Japanese wrestlers. Upon his return to Chile, he primarily continued his activities with XNL and also competed in Mexico and the United States, at which point he changed his ring name to Alejandro Saez.

He returned to Pro Wrestling Noah in November 2016 for his second tour to participate in the Global League tournament. Competing in Block B, Saez finished the tournament with six points, securing three wins and four losses, placing seventh out of eight competitors. During the tournament, he faced notable wrestlers such as Masa Kitamiya, Muhammad Yone, Davey Boy Smith Jr., Naomichi Marufuji, Takashi Sugiura, Go Shiozaki, and Kaito Kiyomiya. On November 3, 2016, Saez notably defeated Davey Boy Smith Jr. and followed this with a victory over Hi69 on January 7, 2017.

In December 2016, after Takashi Sugiura's departure from Suzuki-gun, Saez promptly offered to ally with Sugiura. They formed a tag team for the remainder of the December series, achieving victories in all their matches together. Their partnership continued into January 2017, but Saez had to return home to Chile due to a family emergency.

2.3. WWE Cruiserweight Classic

In June 2016, WWE announced Alejandro Saez as one of the 32 participants in the inaugural WWE Cruiserweight Classic tournament. In the first round of the tournament, Saez was eliminated by Gran Metalik. He was notable as the first and only Chilean wrestler to compete in WWE. To meet the 205 lb ^{(93 kg)} cruiserweight weight limit, Saez, who originally weighed 229 lb ^{(104 kg)}, underwent an intensive two-week regimen of fasting and training, successfully losing 24 lb ^{(11 kg)} to qualify for the tournament.

In December 2018, Saez was among 45 athletes selected from across Latin America to participate in WWE's first Latin American tryout, which took place from December 2 to 4 in Santiago, Chile.

Following his international excursions, Saez returned to the independent wrestling scene in Santiago de Chile in 2017.

Saez currently serves as the leader of a new wrestling faction within his promotion called "Carnaval de Sangre," which includes members "Sexualizer," "Kristy," "Carnicero Humano," and "Azagoth Firelord."
