Those Masked Luchadores in Dominik Mysterio’s WrestleMania 42 Entrance Were Not Extras — and the List Is Fascinating

Dominik Mysterio may not have walked out of WrestleMania 42 with a victory, but he delivered one of the night’s most visually striking moments with an entrance that honored his King of the Luchadores status in spectacular fashion. Arriving on a massive throne surrounded by luchadores in white masks, the spectacle drew immediate attention — and Bodyslam has now confirmed that the masked performers were not generic extras but actual professional wrestlers.

The confirmed names include Gravity, Rayo Star, Anubis, Mexa Boys members Noisy Boy and Spider Fly, Calibus, Diablo Azteca, Skalibur, and Enigma — also known as Rey Mysterio’s ring name The King. The report notes that WrestleMania entrances have historically served as launching pads for talent who later went on to significant careers, citing CM Punk and Charlotte Flair as examples of performers whose WrestleMania extra appearances preceded much bigger things.

Dominik’s Lucha Entrance Could Help Put More Mexican Talent on WWE’s Radar as the Company Expands in the Mexican Market

The significance of using genuine luchadores extends beyond the visual spectacle. WWE currently works with AAA and has been actively developing its presence in the Mexican market — a September South American tour has already been announced — making the exposure these performers received in front of the WrestleMania 42 audience potentially career-changing. Dominik currently holds the AAA Mega Championship, making his connection to the lucha libre world a legitimate and ongoing part of his character rather than simply a one-night aesthetic choice.
