He made his debut for the promotion under the name Angel Mortal Jr. as one of the prospects of AAA's 2017 La Llave a la Gloria tournament.[1] He worked in AAA under that name until late 2017, when he took over the gimmick of La Parka Negra, since the previous La Parka Negra was no longer under contract with AAA. On April 30, 2022, at Triplemanía XXX: Monterrey, Negra participated in a four-way match for the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship, subbing in for an injured Sammy Guevara. Despite this, Guevara was involved in the finish, which saw him and his partner Tay Conti win the championship.[2]
