[After Rumble] Mistico and His Future

[El Místico]

Mistico was sitting backstage thinking about what happened in the royal rumble that he was eliminated first in.

 

“All the training I do.. for someone like Nick Bates to beat me? He lost to someone like Benjamin earlier in the season.. Lo siento papá, I never thought I’d be eliminated first in such a big match but it’s almost like I failed you.”

 

He seems to take something from his tights, a gold cross. The luchador kissed it, looking it over and closing his eyes before he put it back in his tights.

 

“You told me to always make sure I fully embodied what it means to be a luchador, wear the mask as an extension of my body and not just as a mask.”

 

He dug out a picture of him and his father back when he was training as a child, when he was only 14. He was taught about the origins of the mask and what it meant to put the mask on.

 

“I’m doing this all wrong.. I’m going against everything I was taught when I started my journey as a wrestler.”

 

Mistico put the picture away, shaking his head. He was going to be the inspiration that his people needed and be the luchador that he promised to be.

You need a Lion King moment.
