Mini bio
How it started.
Rey began wrestling in 1989, when he was 14. His uncle, the original Rey Misterio, inspired and trained him; the mask and name carried that family connection into the ring.
Finding his audience.
After working in Mexico and ECW, he reached a wider audience in WCW’s cruiserweight division. His aerial style and matches with Eddie Guerrero helped introduce fans to lucha libre. In a later interview, Rey credited Konnan with helping luchadores reach WCW’s bigger stage.
The underdog’s big moments.
He joined WWE in 2002. Winning the 2006 Royal Rumble from the No. 2 entry led to his first World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 22, where he defeated Kurt Angle and Randy Orton. He later won a second World Heavyweight Championship and the WWE Championship.
A family legacy.
In 2021, Rey and his son Dominik became WWE’s first father-and-son tag team champions. WWE inducted Rey into its Hall of Fame in 2023. He continues to wrestle, and his 2026 work has also included AAA’s on-screen general manager role and a Team Mexico announcement for Survivor Series.
