Professional wrestling career
Lluvia was originally trained by her father, Sangre Chicana before making her professional wrestling debut on April 30, 2008.[1][4] She would become a regular for CMLL only a few months later, continuing her wrestling training under CMLL trainers El Satánico and Último Guerrero.[1][2] CMLL decided to give Lluvia more exposure in the early part of 2009, booking her in an eight-woman torneo cibernetico where all eight women would risk their mask on the outcome of the match, with the last person eliminated would be forced to unmask per the Luchas de Apuestas ("Bet match") rules. In addition to Lluvia the match also included La Magnifica, La Seductora, Estrella Magica, Princesa Sujei, Atenea, Coral, Silueta. The match came down to Lluvia and La Magnifica, with Lluvia winning the match and her first "trophy" the mask of her opponent.[1][4] On June 14, 2011, Lluvia received her first ever chance to compete for the CMLL World Women's Championship, losing to champion La Amapola two falls to one during a show celebrating the 52nd anniversary of Arena Coliseo.[5] On December 6, 2011, during a CMLL show Lluvia and Luna Mágica defeated La Comandante and Zeuix to win the Reina World Tag Team Championship, a title promoted by Japanese wrestling promotion Universal Woman's Pro Wrestling Reina.[6] The victory meant that the two traveled to Japan to defend the titles in early 2012. On January 29, 2012, Lluvia and Luna Mágica successfully defended the titles against Casandra and La Silueta.[7] Near the end of their tour of Japan, on March 24, the team lost the championship to Zeuxis and Mima Shimoda.[8]
