Zeuxis (born November 3, 1988) is a Puerto Rican luchadora enmascarada, or masked female professional wrestler, who works for the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), portraying a ruda ("bad guy") wrestling character. She also makes regular tours of Japan with the Reina Joshi Puroresu promotion. Zeuxis' 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.
The wrestler known as Zeuxis was born in Puerto Rico, but lived and trained for her professional wrestling debut in Mexico. She was initially trained by Negro Navarro before making her debut, and later by El Satánico when she joined Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) She made her in-ring wrestling debut on April 29, 2008, working on the Mexican independent circuit. Zeuxis joined CMLL in early 2009 and initially worked as a tecnica (wrestlers who portray the "good guy" characters, also known as "faces"). By the end of 2009 she had switched sides and began working as a ruda ("bad guy") instead. CMLL booked Zeuxis in a storyline with tecnica newcomer Silueta that developed over mid-2010. The storyline started out with the two being on opposite sides of a number of two out of three falls six-woman tag team matches where Zeuxis focused on trying to unmask her opponent, going so far as to rip Silueta's mask apart. The storyline led to a Luchas de Apuestas, or "Bet match" between the two where the loser of the match would be forced to unmask and state their birth name after the loss as per Lucha Libre traditions. Zeuxis was successful, winning two of the three falls to force Silueta to unmask and reveal that her birthname was Joana Guadalupe Jiménez Hernández. Through her work in CMLL Zeuxis was invited to wrestle in Japan on several occasions, primarily for Universal Woman's Pro Wrestling Reina (Reina for short). In April 2011, she was one of seven wrestlers who took part in a tournament to determine the first ever CMLL-Reina International Junior Champion. Zeuxis defeated Sendai Sachiko in the semi-final round, but was defeated by Ray in the finals of the tournament. Later Zeuxis teamed up with fellow CMLL wrestler La Comandante to compete in a tournament to crown the inaugural Reina World Tag Team Champions. In the first round the team defeated Aki Kanbayashi and Saya in the first round and then defeated the team known as the "Canadian NINJAs" (Nicole Matthews and Portia Perez) to become the first champions. The duo held the championship until December 6, when they lost it to Lluvia and Luna Mágica on a CMLL show in Mexico City. In early 2012 Zeuxis regained the championship by teaming with Mima Shimoda to defeat Lluvia and Luna Mágica. 50 days later Universal Woman's Pro Wrestling Reina closed and Reina X World was created to succeed it; at the time Mima Shimoda decided not to work for Reina X World, vacating the tag team championship. Zeuxis did work for Reina X World, teaming up with La Comandante once again for the tournament to crown the next champions, but were defeated in the first round by Aki Kanbayashi and Aoi Ishibashi.
