Jonathan Figueroa (born April 26, 1982),[1] better known by his ring name Amazing Red, is a Puerto Rican professional wrestler and promoter. He is best known for working for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), where he is a former three-time X Division Champion and one-time NWA World Tag Team Champion. He has worked on the American independent circuit and appeared for Ring of Honor (ROH) and Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW). Figueroa is also the founder of House of Glory wrestling school, where he is also one of the head trainers.[7] He is the cousin of wrestlers Joel and Jose Maximo and Zelina Vega.[2]

In April 2019, Red announced his retirement from professional wrestling due to a severe neck injury.[8][9] However, he would return to the ring only a few months later, to work for New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW).[10]
