[13] After the passing of Hurricane María forced a hiatus for WWL, Electro joined other members of Puro Macho in continuing a feud against La Hermandad at independent promotion NEW in Ponce.

[21] After Vega left WWL, Electro faced a remnant of the invading team in Noel Rodríguez (initially supposed to be Jesús Castillo Jr.) as part of a series of hardcore matches.

[22][23] Electro joined Puro Macho when the group made a surprise appearance at Hugo Savinovich's MysterioManía: Tributo al Mesías where IWA-PR officially announced its return to the wrestling scene.

At Black Xmas, he won a four-way match to determine the new first contender for the WWL World Heavyweight Championship (besting Ferno, Mr. Big and Apolo), unsuccessfully challenging incumbent BJ later in the event.

[25] Electro made his final in-ring appearance of 2018 at Championship Wrestling Association's Christmas Showdown, defeating Shane Strickland and Lynx in a three-way match.

[27] Caught in an unsalvageable situation, Ferno declined to name a contender, allowing Director of Talent Relations Dennis Rivera to choose Electro in his stead (hoping that this would breach the team's chemistry).

[29] On the final night of the tour, this development brought consequences when the latter turned on Puro Macho and helped Team IWA win the contention, he also remained outside the ring while the stable was assaulted.
