During the mid-to-late 1990s, Rivera was an active wrestler in theWorld Wrestling Federation (WWF), initially performing under the ring name Kwang. He was later renamed Savio Vega, eventually becoming the leader of a Puerto Rican stable, Los Boricuas.

Rivera has worked as a wrestling trainer and road agent for Total Nonstop Action and Ring Ka King.
