Early career - independent wrestling
Rey Astral is a third generation wrestler that grew up in wrestling and was trained early by his father, "Super Chucky" and was in the ring for the first time already in 2001 at Arena Coliseo Reynosa, when he was 8 years old. However his real debut as a professional wrestler occured on February 7, 2009 at a large event. He was wrestling under the name Astro Rey, a name that he kept on using until 2013. He was picked up by Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) star El Valiente and joined his team as they together with Máscara Púrpura defeated the opponents in Astrals debut.
