Rodríguez initially worked as an
masked wrestler, known as "Dark Phoenix", wearing a modified version of his father's two-headed eagle mask. It is traditional to keep the true identify of a masked wrestler a secret, not revealing their real names and oftentimes not revealing what previous
ring names they have competed under, which make it possible that Rodríguez made his debut prior to 2012 under a different ring name.
Memo Montenegro (2012–2013) In 2012 it was announced that Rodríguez had signed with
WWE, joining his other brother Alberto as he began training in
NXT. He was given the ring name "Memo Montenegro" and worked unmasked. He made his in-ring debut on episode 21 of
NXT from
Full Sail University, losing in just 21 seconds to
Big E Langston.
Hijo de Dos Caras (2013–present) Upon his return to Mexico he began working as "El Hijo de Dos Caras" ("The Son of Dos Caras"), wearing a mask that closely resembled the mask his father has work through his entire career. In early 2014 he began working for
International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) as a
tecnico, or a "good guy" character. On February 2, 2014, he teamed up with
Centvrión for IWRG's annual
El Protector, but lost in the first round to the team of Anubis Black and
Pirata Morgan. His next major appearance was at the 2014
Rebelión de los Juniors, where he was eliminated in the main event by eventual tournament winner
Super Nova. During the summer of 2014 Hijo de Dos Caras began a feud with
Hijo de Máscara Año 2000, initially over the
IWRG Rey del Ring Championship, which Hijo de Máscara Año 2000 successfully defended on July 6. A few weeks later, Hijo de Dos Caras faced off against
Demon Clown,
Dr. Wagner Jr.,
L.A. Park,
Máscara Sagrada and
Pirata Morgan in a
Ladder match for the vacant
IWRG Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship. During the match the actual ladder broke, forcing Máscara Sagrada to improvise by holding a different ladder stable so El Hijo de Dos Caras could climb the ladder to win the match and the championship. The following month, he challenged Hijo de Máscara Año 2000 for the Rey del Ring Championship, but Hijo de Máscara Año 2000 was able to win the match once again. On August 31, 2014, IWRG held a major show called
La Isla ("The Island") with Hijo de Dos Caras, Demon Clown,
Oficial AK-47, Dr. Wagner Jr., Hijo de Máscara Año 2000, L.A Park,
Trauma I and
Veneno, competing in a ladder match where the prize, according to the storyline, was 50,000
Mexican pesos in a bag. During the match, Demon Clown attacked Hijo de Dos Caras with the ladder on several occasions until Demon Clown was able to climb the ladder and grab the bag of money. Following the ladder match, Hijo de Dos Caras successfully defended the IWRG Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship against Demon Clown only a week after
La Isla. On October 5, 2015, Hijo de Dos Casas finally won the IWRG Rey del Ring Championship, defeating Hijo de Máscara Año 2000 in a championship vs. championship match. At the 2014
El Castillo del Terror ("The Castle of Fear") show Hijo de Dos Caras successfully defended the Heavyweight Championship against
Cien Caras Jr., the regular
tag team partner of Hijo de Máscara Año 2000. His run as a double IWRG champion ended on January 11, 2015, when Hijo de Máscara Año 2000 regained the title in a match where only the IWRG Rey del Ring Championship was on the line. While he worked for IWRG on a regular basis, he was not exclusively signed to the company, working several shows on the
independent circuit in Mexico, including an appearance for Universal Wrestling Entertainment (UWE). At a UWE show on January 31, 2015, Hijo de Dos Caras and
El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. defeated
Hijo de L.A. Park and
El Hijo de Pirata Morgan and
Los Traumas (Trauma I and
Trauma II) to win the vacant UWE Tag Team Championship. On February 15, 2015, he competed in that year's version of the
El Protector tournament, teaming up with rookie Emperador Azteca, only to lose in the first round to
Pirata Morgan and rookie Anubis Black. On April 12 he was once again successful in defending the IWRG Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship, this time defeating veteran wrestler
Negro Navarro. The two would cross paths again during the main event of IWRG's
Guerra Revolucionaria show, which was won by Hijo de Máscara Año 2000. After that match, Hijo de Máscara Año 2000 laid out another challenge to Hijo de Dos Caras to put the IWRG Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship on the line against him, a challenge Hijo de Dos Caras did not respond to at the time. The two rivals faced off once again in the 2015
Guerra de Familias tournament on July 5, 2015, when the team of Hijo de Dos Caras and Super Nova defeated Hijo de Máscara Año 2000 and Universo 2000 Jr. The duo would lose in the second round to eventual tournament winners
Los Crazy Americans (Coloso Chris and Principe Orion). On October 11, 2015, he lost the IWRG Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship against
Máscara Año 2000 Jr. However, he regained the title on November 1, 2015. On February 14, 2016, Hijo de Dos Caras lost the Heavyweight championship to
Trauma I in a match that also included
Herodes Jr. In the summer of 2016, July 17, El Hijo de Dos Caras defeated Danny Casas to win the IWRG
Junior de Juniors championship.
Global Force Wrestling (2017) El Hijo del Dos Caras, along with his father, appeared at
Impact Wrestling's
Slammiversary XV event in the corner of Alberto El Patron, as Alberto defeated
Bobby Lashley to unify the
Impact Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship and
GFW Global Championship. ==Championships and accomplishments==
