Lynx, now nearing 40, has spent the last two years in Pollo Road serving as a mentor, most notably to the young talent MEZA. However, in June 2024, their relationship faced a serious challenge when they were both thrust into the high-stakes Scramble Cage Match. Despite Lynx's efforts to help MEZA retain his title, a critical mistake by MEZA opened the door for Sangre de Pollo to not only submit Lynx but also pin MEZA in rapid succession, eliminating them both.
The match’s outcome proved devastating for MEZA, who left Pollo Road soon after, leaving Lynx to question his own future in the ring. With his long-time protege gone and facing the possibility of retirement, Lynx appeared to be at a crossroads. However, it was his former student, Orville Newton, who stepped in to reignite Lynx’s passion for competition. Encouraged by Newton, the veteran chose to stay, and the two teamed up for a tag match against the Moondogs at the 21st Anniversary Special. This was followed by their encounter during the Cibernetico, where they faced each other in a good-natured, exhibition-style contest, showing respect but lacking the deep connection Lynx once had with MEZA.
Lynx and Newton’s team, while functional, lacks the deep connection Lynx once had with MEZA. However, with Newton pushing for Lynx to continue his career, there is potential for Lynx to strike out once more as a singles competitor. As 2024 winds down, this could be Lynx's chance to end his in-ring career on his own terms, possibly reinventing himself or achieving one last run of glory with Newton by his side—if not as close allies, then as mutual motivators.

Orville Newton's journey throughout 2024 has been one of complex loyalties, character growth, and personal values clashing with the ruthless realities of professional wrestling. His time training under Pollo Dorado II/Matt Pulver shaped him into a disciplined, respectful competitor, but the injury in March left a gap in his development. Pulver’s approval to train with longtime adversary AJ Knight was surprising but strategic as Newton’s lack of killer instinct had long been seen as a limitation, and AJ’s more cutthroat style could sharpen Newton's edge.
The chemistry between AJ and Newton was never quite right, however. They were united by necessity, not shared values. While AJ taught Newton the merits of seizing every opportunity, it clashed with Newton's fundamental belief in fairness and honor, which became glaringly obvious in the July PMLL Heavyweight title match. Newton's refusal to capitalize on Roy Vezina's interference vs. Kalidah, calling for a no contest instead of taking the victory, was the breaking point for AJ. For Knight, it was a moment where Newton revealed his weakness. For Newton, it was standing firm in his principles.
Now that Newton has distanced himself from AJ, his return to his original mentor, Lynx, feels like a homecoming of sorts. Lynx’s guidance aligns with Newton’s sense of integrity, while Dr. Victor Turing and NEXUS provide him with a place to use his skills for innovation and evolution. Newton is now a young star caught between two worlds: a purist who refuses to sacrifice his morals, and a rising talent in a ruthless environment that punishes such idealism.

Jeremy Squire and Crazy Boy, the real-life brothers once known as part of WAG1, were left feeling betrayed and hurt when their leader, Jin Hirai, ghosted them the moment he captured the World Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team titles. Abandoned by Hirai and cast aside, the brothers took matters into their own hands, channelling their frenetic energy and embracing their wild side under a new name: Electric Insanity.
With their transformation, they’ve fully embraced the fans, who in turn have rallied behind them. This newfound connection with the audience fuelled their courageous but ultimately unsuccessful effort against the Punch Line in July. Despite falling short, their performance showed heart, resilience, and a spark of potential that’s only beginning to ignite. Their passion was further tested in the Cibernetico, where, though neither of the brothers scored an elimination, they remained undeterred.
Now, Electric Insanity is more determined than ever to prove Jin Hirai wrong. He may have dismissed them as mere "dancing fools," but Jeremy Squire and Crazy Boy are on a mission to show the world—and Hirai—that they are winners. Their journey, backed by the fans, is far from over, and with each match, they aim to show that they have the drive and skill to rise above their past and succeed on their own terms.

Ultimo Pollo IV has had a quiet yet intriguing 2024, with only four matches under his belt, splitting his singles record at 1-1. The Chicago native briefly stepped away from Pollo Road as part of the promotion’s summer restructuring but made his return just in time for the 21st Anniversary special, where he suffered a tough loss to Luke Marshall. Despite the limited ring time and recent setbacks, Ultimo Pollo IV remains a fan favorite, consistently drawing strong reactions whenever he steps through the curtain.
At 28 years old, UP4 is still firmly in his prime, with both the talent and the fanbase behind him. The question now is whether he can harness that momentum and turn things around before the end of 2024. Known as "The Last of the Pollos," he carries the legacy of his family’s name, and with it, the pressure to rise above his current struggles. If he can recapture his form and string together a few key victories, there’s no reason Ultimo Pollo IV can’t climb back up the ranks and finish the year strong, perhaps even positioning himself for a significant run in 2025. The potential is there—now it's all about seizing the moment.
