Galeno del Mal is part of the Wagner wrestling family and Moreno wrestling family. He is the son of Dr. Wagner Jr. and Rossy Moreno.[2] His ring name translates to Evil Doctor, which was also a nickname used by his father and grandfather Dr. Wagner.[3] His real name is not a matter of official record as he is an ''enmascarado'', which by ''lucha libre'' traditions means that his personal life is kept secret from the general public.
He finished high school on the advice of his parents, but they both supported his decision to go into professional wrestling.[2]
Galeno del Mal made his debut under that name at 17 years old on Christmas Day 2018 in Arena Azteca Budokan, a smaller arena in Ciudad Nezahualcóyotl, wrestling alongside his brother El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. and uncle Extassis.[1] At a vastly bigger stature and physique compared to most luchadors, and through his family connection, he received a lot of attention almost immediately.[4] He made his debut for International Wrestling Revolution Group or IWRG in January 2019. During the first half of 2019 he would also work for Kaoz Lucha Libre in Monterrey, Generación XXI in the Guanajuato/Querétaro-area, and several spot shows for Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, also known as Triple A.[5]
He continued to wrestle high-profile matches on the Mexico City independent scene throughout 2020 and 2021. In 2022 he would start working for Big Lucha, a promotion run by Bandido.[6]
At IWRG Caravana De Campeones, August 27, 2022, Galeno defeated Oficial AK-47 to become the new IWRG Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion, and also became the youngest heavyweight champion to date.[7][8]
On November 11, at the Big Lucha Face 2 Face event, he would make the save after Jack Evans and his henchmen attacked Bandido, Komander and Gravity, turning face in the process. Afterwards he would join Bandidos newly announced stable, Los Golden Guns, alongside Bandido, Komander, Gravity and Rey Horus.[9]
After making his United States debut at a Big Lucha/Galli show in Chicago, on January 21, 2023 he was announced for Gleat in Japan. He made his debut at the G Prowrestling Ver. 43 event on February 12 in Osaka. Together with Kazma Sakamoto and Quiet Storm, Galeno's team defeated Cima, T-Hawk and El Lindaman.[10]
During the 2023 WrestleCon in Los Angeles, Galeno would team with Rey Horus and Aramis to defeat the team of Arez, Laredo Kid and Látigo at the Mark Hitchcock Memorial Supershow at the Globe Theatre March 30.[11]
On June 3rd, 2023, Galeno made his debut at Seattle based promotion DEFY Wrestling's PPV event, DEFY Your Nightmare, where he defeated Delta Jr.
