Raziel (8 February 1973 – 4 April 2022) was the ring name of a Mexican luchador enmascarado (or masked professional wrestler), best known for his work in Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL).

Raziel's real name is not on public record, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans.[2] He previously worked as Caligula for many years, forming the team Los Romanos along with Messala (who is now known as Cancerbero). The name "Raziel" is taken from the Archangel Raziel in Jewish mysticism, and is sometimes also written as "Raciel".

Professional wrestling career

The wrestler who was known as Raziel trained under

Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA), and were part of a group called Los Cadetos del Espacio ("The Space Cadets") for a brief period of time.[3] After their stint in AAA they worked for the short lived Promo Azteca promotion as well as International Wrestling Revolution Group before changing their ring characters.[3]

Los Romanos

In 2005 he began working for

Ángel Azteca, Jr. and Máscara Purpura in the first round.[5]
Los Romanos remained firmly placed in the opening or low card position throughout 2008 and into 2009.

On 18 November 2009, CMLL presented a new Rudo group,

steel cage match. He was the tenth man to leave the cage, keeping his mask safe in the process.[13] In January 2017, Raziel made his Japanese debut by taking part in Fantastica Mania 2017, the annual tour co-produced by CMLL and New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW).[14]

Death

Raziel died on April 4, 2022, at 49.[15]
