WWE honored Hispanic Heritage Month with a special segment featuring several Superstars blind ranking classic lucha masks — a nod to one of wrestling’s most iconic traditions. Hosted with Xfinity, the feature spotlighted the pride, humor, and deep respect surrounding lucha libre’s legendary masked culture.
Rey Mysterio kicked off the celebration, calling the mask “the greatest symbol of lucha libre” and emphasizing how it represents heritage and identity for wrestlers across generations. “You are witnessing the greatest mask of all time,” Mysterio said. “Blind ranking mask, one of lucha libre’s greatest traditions.”
In true “Dirty Dom” fashion, Dominik Mysterio delivered his rankings with attitude and humor. “I don’t know why I’m doing this,” he joked. “Obviously the greatest luchador of all time is me, and I don’t wear a mask, so none of these matter.” Still, he respected legends like Mil Máscaras and Psychosis, calling them influences on wrestling’s evolution. He even cracked a joke about his father, saying, “Rey Mysterio’s my son now, because I’ve done things he’s never done in his career.”
Other Superstars, including Dragon Lee, Santos Escobar, Zelina Vega, and Elektra Lopez, shared their favorite masks and personal connections to lucha culture. Dragon Lee named Rey Mysterio his number one, citing him as his role model. Escobar called Dr. Wagner’s mask “legendary,” and Vega highlighted La Hiedra and Lady Flammer among the new generation of luchadoras making waves.
The rankings ranged from playful to heartfelt, with each Superstar adding flair to the celebration. Whether honoring classic designs like La Parka and Villano or the modern styles of Dragon Lee and Penta, the segment captured how the art of the mask continues to define the spirit of lucha libre.
