"roots". He became increasingly authoritarian, actually firing Hiram Tua following a disagreement between them. Pérez then recruited The Academy as bodyguards, helping Angel to remain undefeated by reversing a decision and firing Cotto when he disagreed. However, Rivera soon returned and The Academy turned on him. An angle between the IWA and the Extreme Wrestling Organization then began, when he faced Cotto in a charity event and told him that he belonged the IWA and should "return home". On December 17, 2011, Cotto won the EWO World Heavyweight Championship, only to be interrupted by Pérez, an scenario that was repeated at EWO's Tierra de Nadie. This was followed by confrontations in IWA's Histeria Boricua and Kaos & Odissey, which expanded to include EWO's CEO, Richard Rondón, as well. On February 25, 2012, following more intervention from the IWA, Cotto issued a challenge to end the conflict, an unification match for the EWO World Heavyweight Championship and IWA Undisputed World Heavyweight Championship. On March 1, 2012, the challenge was accepted by Pérez and Rondón in a backstage segment. At Clash of the Titans, Cotto lost the EWO World Championship, losing to a masked wrestler only known as "Bonecrusher", whom he had defeated to win this belt and had since gained the IWA Undisputed Heavyweight Champion. In this event, Rivera actually interrupted an encounter between both the leaders of both companies, but remained quiet and did not specify his allegiance to either faction. At Payback, Pérez and Rondón where involved in a heated discussion. On May 26, 2012, he made a face turn after Rondón insulted his father, which resulted in the entirety of Zona 101, led by Cotto, joining him and becoming part of Team IWA. In 2014, Pérez returned to the World Wrestling Council after a 20-year absence. Pérez showing a considerable amount of weight lost and in great shape joined Ray González in his feud against Savio Vega. He also resumed his feud with Slash Venom in WWC. In 2022 Miguel Perez daughter Nathalya Pérez made her pro wrestling. She began her training and debuted at the Espíritu Pro Wrestling Dojo in Puerto Rico.
