It is not clear whether he is working on a per-show basis or under the terms of a full-time contract at this time.
During his time with WWE (from 2016 until 2021), Metalik competed primarily in the Cruiserweight division. In addition, he was a member of the Lucha House Party, along with Lince Dorado and Kalisto, and appeared on RAW and SmackDown.
Following his departure from WWE, he has worked for New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) on the weekly Strong series and for a variety of other independents such as GCW.
