Rey Mysterio is one of the best Latino wrestlers to have ever stepped foot in a WWE ring, if not the best. Over the years Mysterio has been responsible for inspiring some of the greatest names in the business to lace up their boots. Over the past year, Mysterio has been able to work with one of the men he inspired on WWE TV.

Humberto Carrillo grew up watching the work that Mysterio was doing for WWE around the world and this inspired the Mexican star to step into the business.

Carrillo was given the chance to work alongside Rey Mysterio on WWE TV earlier this year when he stepped into a feud against Andrade and then against his cousin, Angel Garza.

Carrillo hasn't been seen on WWE for a few months since he hasn't been needed in the Seth Rollins/Rey Mysterio storyline, but he could return and help take Dominik under his wing in the future unless Mysterio makes a return to WWE TV.
