Cayetano makes his grand return to Tomelloso after two months away from the bullring.

This 2025 season was going to be special for Cayetano, as he had announced it would be his last year as a matador. However, things weren't going smoothly, especially after an incident involving the police shortly before a bullfight in Burgos , which was compounded by an injury.

She was unable to keep her appointment at the Coliseum, and was also absent in Santander, Ciudad Real and Málaga, as she announced through X, out of "respect for my profession and the public, which forces me to be honest and responsible with reality above the excitement that comes with stepping into the ring again", despite the fact that she continued to try her hand on the field.

Through the same social media platform, on August 20, he announced his return to the bullring with the following message: "I am very happy to announce that, after almost two months without being able to dress in lights, this Saturday the 23rd I will be back in Tomelloso. The wait has been long, but I am finally back in the ring with the same enthusiasm as always. See you in the plaza!"

And so it was: this Saturday, he made his way to the bullring in Ciudad Real, alongside El Fandi and Antonio Linares. According to Aplausos, Rivera returned with a noble, albeit weak, bull, from which he cut off an ear. He was more fortunate with the fifth, from Manuel and Antonio Tornay, which he cut off an ear when it connected with the stands, leaving the ring on the shoulders of his fellow bullfighters, who cut off a total of ten ears.
