In mid-2012 AAA introduced a new masked trio known asLos Inferno Rockers[3] (Machine Rocker,Devil Rocker andSoul Rocker), a trio of masked, glam-rocker inspired wrestlers who resembled the rock bandKiss.[4][5] It was later verified that the former Tito Santana was under the Soul Rocker mask. The trio was set up as the rivals ofLos Psycho Circus (Psycho Clown,Murder Clown andMonster Clown), who at the time had been undefeated for years. They later introduced the 201 cm (6 ft 7 in) tall Uro Rocker to the team, targeting Psycho Clown specifically.[6] It was later revealed that Uro Rocker was supposed to be the main rival of Psycho Clown, but the wrestler playing the part hurt wrestlers he worked with and was quickly dropped from the group.[7]
The group lost toLos Psycho Circus at the 2012Guerra de Titanes show, their first appearance at a major AAA show.[8] 18 days later the trio wrestledInternational Wrestling Revolution Group'sLos Oficiales (Oficial 911,Oficial AK-47 andOficial Fierro) in one of the featured matches on theArena Naucalpan 35th Anniversary Show when the match ended in a double pinfall.[9] In early 2013 Los Inferno Rockers finally defeatedLos Psycho Circus, gaining some momentum in their ongoing feud.[10] They repeated the feat at the 2012Rey de Reyes show, seemingly escalating their feud towards aLucha de Apuestas, or "bet match" where the teams would put their masks on the line.[11][12] TheApuestas match never happened andLos Inferno Rockers were soon diverted fromLos Psycho Circus. In later 2013 Devil Rocker left AAA and was replaced byDemon Rocker to remain a trio.[13] a member of theLos Inferno Rockers stable.[14] The team was phased out throughout 2014, with Demon Rocker taking over the "La Parka Negra" character. By early 2015 Machine Rocker no longer appeared on AAA shows either. On October 4, 2015, Machine Rocker was repackaged and introduced as "Taurus", signaling the end ofLos Inferno Rockers as a unit won a Royal Rumble Lumberjack match to win theCopa Antonio Peña.[15]

On January 11, 2024, Taurus announced his departure from AAA for the second time and declared himself a free agent.[20]
