He is primarily known for working for International Wrestling Revolution Group and Pro Wrestling Noah where he portrays a tecnico ("Good guy") wrestling character. He previously worked under the ring names The Ram and Ram el Carnero. Cornejo is a second-generation wrestler, the son of Fernando Cornejo Camarena who used the name "Golpelador" as a wrestler. His younger brother is also a wrestler, known as Dragón Bane and the pair wrestles as Los Golpeadores. While he portrays the son of Canis Lupus, they are not related.

As El Hijo de Canis Lupus, Cornejo has won the IWRG Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship, IWRG Junior de Juniors Championship, IWRG Rey del Ring, and the IWRG Intercontinental Tag Team Championship (with Rey Leon and Hell Boy). He teamed up with Trauma I for the 2018 El Protector tournament where they lost in the finals. He previously held the Mexico State Middleweight Championship while working as Ram el Carnero.

Professional wrestling career

On April 8, 2022, Noah announced Wolf as one of the foreing wrestlers that would appear at Majestic on April 29. At the event, Wolf made his official debut for the promotion, losing a three-way elimination match involving his young brother Dragón Bane and Ninja Mack, who won the match.[1] Over the following months, Wolf and Bane began working in various matches with each other. On September 3, Wolf and Bane challenged Chris Ridgeway and Daga to a title match for the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship. However, on September 5, Ridgeway and Daga vacated the titles, leading NOAH to announce that Los Golpeadores would face Alejandro and Ninja Mack for the vacant titles. On September 24 at Grand Ship In Nagoya 2023, Los Golpeadores defeated Alejandro and Mack to win the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship.[2] They lost the title to Good Looking Guys (Tadasuke and Yo-Hey) on January 2, 2024 at The New Year.[3]

Personal life

Fernando Antonio Cornejo Soto was born on October 9, 1998, son of Fernando Cornejo Camarena, a professional wrestler known under the ring name "El Golpeador" ("Striker"). His younger brother is also a professional wrestler, working as the enmascarado (masked wrestler) Dragón Bane.
