Super Luchas is reporting that CMLL star Mistico has signed with WWE. The Mexican luchador is expected to train in Florida Championship Wrestling in Tampa.
Reportedly, Mistico's main reasoning for having interest in WWE is the success of former luchador Alberto Del Rio (who wrestled as Dos Caras, Jr.).
He had a closed doors tryout with WWE a few years ago and they were impressed by him, but contract issues kept WWE from signing him. Presumably, those issues were gone when he tried out again this past October. With CMLL business down the last several months and the success of Alberto Del Rio (the former Dos Caras Jr.) giving hope to Mexican wrestlers who felt going to WWE was a bad idea, it seemed like a better idea for Mistico to make a move to either AAA (CMLL's rival) or WWE. CMLL owns the gimmick, at least in Mexico, so it should be interesting to see how he's re-gimmicked in WWE, especially if they hope to push him heavily on their tours south of the border
Mistico being sent to FCW? WTF! Oh yeah i forget. To train the WWE way
