Niebla Roja (Spanish for "Red Fog"; born March 20, 1986) is the current ring name of a Mexican Luchador Enmascarado, or masked professional wrestler, working for the Mexican wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). He originally worked under the ring name Ángel de Plata (Spanish for "Silver Angel") but changed name and mask in 2012. His 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 brother is also a masked luchador working under the ring name Ángel de Oro (Golden Angel").
The wrestler known as Niebla Rojo and his younger brother who wrestles under the ring name Ángel de Oro are both sons of professional wrestler Apolo Chávez and grew up idolizing their father. The wrestler who would later be known as Niebla Rojo made his professional wrestling debut under the name Guerrero Inca (Incan Warrior) and wrestled locally in the Gómez Palacio, Durango. He also wrestled a few shows for International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) but broke his arm before he could make much progress in the company.
In Durango he feuded with his younger brother, in a feud that was so well received by the crowd that both his brother and he received an invitation to train at Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre's (CMLL) wrestling school in Guadalajara, Jalisco. When he went to Guadalajara to train under Gran Cochisse and El Satánico he changed his ring character to Ángel de Plata, to complement his brothers ring character. The duo made their CMLL debut on July 4, 2008 wrestling as a team dubbed Los Angeles Celestiales ("The Celestial Angels") The duo was made into a trio when they were joined by Ángel Azteca, Jr. who used a similar "Angel inspired" ring character.Los Angeles Celestiales worked low card matches throughout 2008 and into 2009, gaining valuable ring experience along the way. On April 7, 2009 Ángel de Plata participated in a 10-man Torneo cibernetico for the vacant CMLL World Super Lightweight Championship. The other participants included Ángel Azteca Jr., Rey Cometa, Pegasso, Tiger Kid, Pólvora, Inquisidor, Súper Comando, Angel de Oro and eventual winner Máscara Dorada.
