Christian Saldaña[3] (born February 25, 1978), better known by the ring namePegasso, is a MexicanLuchadorenmascarado (or maskedprofessional wrestler) working for the Mexicanprofessional wrestling promotionConsejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). Pegasso worked fromAsistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) from 2000 until 2008, where he was a part of the wrestling stableReal Fuerza Aérea. Pegasso's real name was not a matter of public record - as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans[4] - until domestic violence allegations were made against him in 2025. The name Pegasso isSpanish forPegasus, a winged horse from theGreek mythology. He has also wrestled as "Hombre sin Nombre" ("man without name") and "Pegasso Xtreme".
The wrestler who would later be best known as Pegasso made his professional wrestling debut on April 30, 1999, after training under Sombra Salvaje, Irasu and Califa.[2] Initially he wrestled under the nameHombre sin Nombre (Spanish for "the man with no name"), a concept often used by Luchadors who have yet to establish a ring persona.[4]
In 2000 he began working forAsistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA), one of Mexico's largest promotions, and was given a new ring persona named Pegasso, after the mythological horse. Initially Pegasso worked low card matches while training with AAA's head trainerGran Apache.[1] Pegasso wrestled on his first major show not long after signing on with AAA as he teamed withOscar Sevilla,Path Finder and Ludxor to defeat Gran Apache, Angel Mortal, Marabunta and Mr. Condor on the undercard of the 2000Verano de Escandalopay-per-view event.[5] Over the following years Pegasso made very few wrestling appearances while working with Gran Apache and other AAA trainees to improve his skills. It was not until 2006 that Pegasso began making regular appearances for AAA as he became part of a group of young high fliers calledReal Fuerza Aérea in 2006.[6] Together withSuper Fly, Pegasso qualified for the finals of a tournament to crown the inauguralAAA World Tag Team Champions at the 2007Rey de Reyes show. The match was a four corners elimination match that also includedGuapos VIP (Alan Stone andZumbido), The Mexican Powers (Crazy Boy andJoe Líder) and winnersThe Black Family (Dark Cuervo andDark Ozz).[7] Pegasso participated in the 2007Alas de Oro but was eliminated fourth, by his own teammate Super Fly.[8] Following theAlas de Oro Pegasso made fewer and fewer high-profile appearances for AAA, at best working the undercard of the 2008Reina de Reinas tournament asReal Fuerza Aérea (Pegasso,Aero Star,Gato Eveready andEl Ángel) lost to Los Piratas (Pirata Morgan, Pirata Morgan, Jr.El Hijo de Pirata Morgan and Barba Roja).[9] By late 2008 Pegasso and fellowReal Fuerza Aérea memberRey Cometa left AAA. Initially the two worked forInternational Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) asReal Fuerza Aérea but soon after began working forConsejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), Mexico's largest and oldest wrestling promotion.
Pegasso and Rey Cometa initially used theReal Fuerza Aérea name in CMLL as well, but quickly abandoned it when AAA objected to the use of the name. When signing with CMLL Pegasso received further training by CMLL head trainersSatánico andFranco Columbo.[1] Pegasso and Rey Cometa formed a regular team in CMLL, often working the lower end of the card. On April 7, 2009, Pegasso was one of 10 men competing for the vacantCMLL World Super Lightweight Championship but he was eliminated halfway through the match with the title going toMáscara Dorada instead.[10] On October 18, 2009, Pegasso was one of 12 wrestlers who put his mask on the line in a 12-manLuchas de Apuestas cage match. He was the fourth person to escape the cage keeping his mask safe.[11] Pegasso teamed with Rey Cometa andRouge to defeatLos Guerreros Tuareg (Hooligan,Skándalo andLoco Max) in the opening match of CMLL's year end show,Sin Salida, with Pegasso scoring the deciding fall.[12] In May, 2015 Pegasso competed in a qualifying match for the2015 version of En Busca de un Ídolo as one of 16 wrestlers in the qualifyingtorneo cibernetico, elimination match where the last eight wrestlers would qualify for the tournament. He competed againstAkuma,Blue Panther Jr.,Cancerbero,Canelo Casas,Delta,Disturbio,Esfinge,Flyer,El Gallo,Guerrero Maya Jr., Joker,Raziel,Sagrado,Stigma andBoby Zavala.[13] Pegasso pinned Joker during the match but ended up as the fifth man eliminated when he was pinned by Stigma.[14][15] On December 25, 2015, as part of CMLL's annualInfierno en el Ring show Pegasso was one of twelve men risking their mask in the main eventsteel cage match. He was the third man to leave the cage, keeping his mask safe in the process.[16]
Pegasso is not the onlyLuchador to have used the namePegasso. Two other luchadors have used a similar name in their:Pegaso who now works asCiclón Ramírez andPegaso (II) who is a former CMLL employee of little note.
Pegasso also works as a police officer.[17]
On October 6th, 2025, testimony from family members revealed a domestic violence case, claiming that Pegasso (exposing his real name as Christian Saldaña) had beaten his son "almost to death" for refusing to waive child support payments. This specifically stemmed from an April 2024 incident, wherein his son was hospitalized with injuries that confined him to a wheelchair and nearly lost him an eye.[18] On October 22nd, 2025, the Puebla police department Saldaña was attached to claimed the accusations were being investigated by Internal Affairs.[19] On November 19th, 2025, Saldaña's hearing took place.[20]
