Barbed-Wire Cage Match Returns to Puerto Rican Wrestling on October 24 in Juncos

The barbed-wire cage returns to Puerto Rican wrestling on Saturday, October 24, when the Attitude Wrestling Academy (AWA) presents its Halloween Wired Night event at the Coliseo Boxístico de Juncos. The structure, which debuted in 2025 in a match between The Founders and La Vieja Escuela, the faction led by Mr. Big, will return in a bout pitting Mr. Big, Dennis Rivera and The Founders against members of La Administración, headed by Romeo, along with Dean Rose, Jafet and a participant whose identity has not yet been revealed.

According to a written statement from the organization, the event will go beyond the match itself and show how such a structure is assembled, the physical and mental preparation wrestlers go through, what happens in the hours before, and the measures considered before entering the ring, aspects the academy says are rarely covered in Puerto Rican wrestling coverage. The show also marks the new stage of Daniel Caballer, long known in the ring as Chupi Hunter and on the autism spectrum, who recently adopted a new persona as Mr. Hunter and turned heel after betraying his mentor Mr. Big, slapping him and joining Romeo and La Administración, a shift from the image of perseverance and self-improvement that had defined him for years.
