Life after WWE: Catching up with 10 Superstars released in 2016

This former WWE Superstar is the newest addition to the Bullet Club.

#5 El Torito

El Torito is now known as Mascarita Dorada.

Once Los Matadores was repackaged to The Shining Stars, there simply wasn't much of a need for El Torito. On a positive note, his "WeeLC" match against Hornswoggle was highly praised as one of the best WWE matches of 2014. But, there still wasn't a huge demand for El Torito, so he was part of the massive releases in May.

Since departing WWE, El Torito returned to Mexico and went back to AAA Wrestling, under the name Mascarita Dorada. He has done quite well since his return to Mexico, even winning the AAA Mascot Tag Team Championships with his brother Mascarita Sagrada.

One thing WWE fans may not realise is that El Torito has always been highly regarded and respected in Mexico as a tremendous wrestler.
