In 2026, Mateo has solidified his role as the premier enforcer of the MFT (Main Finger Trigger) faction. Following a dominant season opener against The Wyatt Sicks, Mateo again proved his worth on the February 13th episode of SmackDown. Anchoring a high-stakes 10-man tag team main event, he helped lead the Bloodline to a decisive victory over a star-studded team featuring Apollo Crews, Carmelo Hayes, and Shinsuke Nakamura. This flawless 2-0 start confirms that under Solo Sikoa’s vision, Mateo is an insurmountable wall. For daily intelligence on Bloodline movements, check our pro wrestling news homepage.

Standing at 5’10” but weighing a rock-solid 264 lbs, JC Mateo utilizes an unmatched blend of low-center-of-gravity power and Olympic-level technicality. His signature finisher, the Tour of the Islands, is a devastating spinning powerslam that neutralizes an opponent’s momentum entirely.
