Diamante (born February 14, 1992, in Monclova, Coahuila, Mexico) is a Mexican luchador enmascarado (masked professional wrestler) currently working for the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) portraying a tecnico ("good guy") wrestling character. Diamante's real name is 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. His ring name is Spanish for Diamond.
The wrestler later known as Diamante made his debut at a very early age, initially working as Chamaco Meza ("Kid" Meza) and also worked as Aero Boy early on, working primarily in Nuevo León. Later on he adopted a new ring name and image as Principe Diamante ("Prince Diamond"). He worked for Lucha Libre AAA World Wide at the age of just 16, wrestling at the 2008 Rey de Reyes show teaming with Street Boy and Tigre Cota to defeat Black Mamba, Rio Bravo, and Tito Santana
Principe Diamante signed a contract with Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) in the summer of 2009 and initially worked under the name "As Jr." (Ace Junior), although it was never clear which "Ace" he was supposed to be the son off.
After working as As Jr. for a few months he had his ring name changed to "Diamante", not revealing that he worked as As Jr. until years later. As Diamante he made his in-ring debut for CMLL on August 17, 2009. The first sign of Diamante's potential in CMLL came on June 16, 2010, when he entered in the 2010 torneo Gran Alternativa, where a rookie and a "veteran" wrestler teamed up for a tag team tournament. Diamante teamed with La Sombra for the tournament; together they defeated Cancerbero and Mephisto in the first round, Inquisidor and Atlantis in the second round, but lost to the team of Hector Garza and Pólvora in the semi final round. The following month Diamante was one of 12 wrestlers to risk their match in CMLL's Infierno en el Ring main event, a steel cage match where the last man would be forced to unmask. Diamante was the 8th man to leave the ring and watched as Ángel de Oro defeated Fabián el Gitano, forcing him to unmask. Diamanted teamed up with Ángel de Oro and Rush to defeat Metal Blanco, Palacio Negro and Sagrado in the finals of a two-week-long tournament to become the number one contenders to the Mexican National Trios Championship. On January 9, the trio defeated Delta, Metro and Stuka, Jr. to become the new champions. Weeks after winning the Trios championship Diamante entered the annual Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increibles, a tournament that featured teams of wrestlers who do not usually team up, in fact most of the teams are on opposite sides of the Tecnico/Rudo (Fan favorite/villain) divide. Diamante teamed with the rudo Volador, Jr. and made it into the semi finals of the tournament by defeating Stuka, Jr. and Ephesto as well as La Sombra and Misterioso, Jr., but were defeated by eventual tournament winners Máscara Dorada and Atlantis in the semi finals. At the 2011 Homenaje a Dos Leyendas ("Homage to Two Legends") show Diamante teamed up with two-thirds of the team he won the Trios title from as he, Metro and Stuka, Jr. defeated Los Cancerberos del Infierno (Raziel and Euforia) and Okumura in one of the mid card matches on the show.
