The group are the current Mexican National Trios Champions.
History
In late 2008 Sangre Azteca left the stable Guerreros de la Atlantida because he was not being used much by the group.[1] At the same time Black Warrior's involvement with a group called "La Ola Lagunera" (Spanish for "the Lagunero Wave") petered out. In December 2008 Dragón Rojo, Jr. won a "#1 Contenders" match and thus earned a shot at the Mexican National Welterweight Championship held by Sangre Azteca.[2] The title match ended in a double count out leaving Sangre Azteca the champion but showing that Dragón Rojo, Jr. was not easily defeated.[3]
After the draw Dragón Rojo, Jr. and Sangre Azteca began teaming together along with Black Warrior as the third man, quickly forming a trio called Poder Mexicana.[1] The group saw mixed success around Mexico but remained undefeated in Arena Mexico, CMLL's main venue earning the group a shot at the Mexican National Trios Championship held by Sagrado, La Sombra and Volador, Jr.. Poder Mexicana won the title in their first attempt, defeating the champions on February 3, 2009.[4] Soon after the win speculation of a unification between the Mexican National Trios Championship and the CMLL World Trios Championship.[5]
Shortly after winning the Championship Black warrior was suspended from working in Mexico City, forcing Poder Mexica to draft Misterioso, Jr. to take the place of Black Warrior when they worked in Mexico City, making him an unofficial a member of Poder Mexicana.[6] At the 2009 Homenaje a Dos Leyendas show Dragón Rojo, Jr. Sangre Azteca and Misteriosos Jr. lost to CMLL World Trios Champions Héctor Garza, La Máscara and El Hijo del Fantasma.[7] the Match and subsequent storyline between the two sets of champions furthered speculations that CMLL may chose to unified the two titles in the future.[8] By mid-April Black Warrior's Mexico City suspension ended and he returned to team with Azteca and Dragón Rojo, Jr. Over the summer of 2009 Black Warrior began working storylines with various Japanese wrestlers working for CMLL, leaving Poder Mexica to team up with Misterioso, Jr. more and more frequently. In September, 2009 Sangre Azteca announced that Misterioso, Jr. had officially become a member of Poder Mexica.[9]
