Trauma II is a second-generation wrestler, the son of Miguel Calderón Navarro, better known under hisring nameNegro Navarro. He is the older brother ofTrauma I, who heteams with under the nameLos Traumas. He is the nephew of wrestlers Apolo Navarro and Drako.[1] Both Traumas were trained for their professional career by their father, supporting them in wanting to become professional wrestlers and also helping them gain connections to promoters and make a name for themselves instead of wrestling as "Negro Navarro, Jr." or variations there off. While Navarro began his career without wearing amask his sons both opted to start out asenmascarados (masked wrestlers), keeping their birth names a secret from the general public.[2] On March 9, 2016, he was accused of kidnapping and rape by his ex-girlfriend[3]

TheDinastia de la Muerte name refers both to the fact that they are a family (a "dynasty") and also referring toLos Misioneros de la Muerte, a trio Negro Navarro formed withEl Signo andEl Texano in the 1980s.[2] One of Trauma II's early appearances at a major IWRG show was on July 28, 2008, when he participated in the annualRey del Ring ("King of the Ring") tournament.

On the night 911 escaped with his mask safe, pining both Trauma II and El Ángel. In the end Trauma II pinned El Ángel even after Los Oficiales attacked both competitors.
