On the latest episode of AEW Rampage, Mistico, formerly known as Sin Cara in WWE, debuted in Tony Khan's promotion. This is the first time since 2019 that he has wrestled on an American mainstream promotion.
Mistico, aka Sin Cara, requested his release from WWE and, therefore, was released by the company in 2019. He then started wrestling in Mexican promotions.
In his debut match, Mistico, the World Historic Middleweight Champion, faced Rocky Romero, the World Historic Welterweight Champion, in a two-out-of-three falls match. This match was dubbed as 'Mexico's-Pound for-Pound-Crown.' Mistico won the match by 2-1 falls.
