When he arrived at 205 Live, he did so with strength, as he soon became Cruiserweight Champion. However, when he lost the title, he was relegated to a second plane. Although it seems that lately Kalisto is standing out more thanks to his new alliance with both Gran Metalik and Lince Dorado.
We'll have to see what the future holds for him on the purple brand, as he failed to reach the final of the current tournament to crown a new king, but he could soon have new stories to tell. In fact, it seems that the three masked men are starting something with Hideo Itami and Akira Tozawa.
In the meantime, Kalisto has recently spoken to WWE about why he wears a mask.
"I don't wear a mask to look like Rey Mysterio, it's more than that. For us, it's like a religion. Warriors wear masks. A mask is not just a mask. It's everything. When we enter the ring and when we leave. It's our way of life. It's our way of surviving."
It's important to remember that Kalisto has always worn a mask. When he started wrestling in the United States and in Mexico, he was known as Samurai del Sol.
Later, he had a brief stint in AAA, where he was given the character of Octagón Jr. He later left the company when he was offered a contract with WWE.
