He is a fourth-generation wrestler, son of Apóstol Jr. and cousin of Magia Blanca. His real name is not a matter of public record as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico.[1]

Professional wrestling career

In 2012, Angelikal made his debut on the independent circuit teaming with Crossfire and Stukita being defeated by Dark Side and the Toxic Couple (Epidemic and Heavy Boy).

Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (2017–present)

In 2017 Anglikal began working part-time for Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA), initially working in the first or second match of the night teaming with Charly Madrid and Tigger to defeat Angel Mortal Jr., Canibal Jr. and Tiger Boy.[2] At Triplemanía XXV, Angelikal teamed with El Hijo del Vikingo and The Tigger to defeat Angel Mortal Jr., Tiger Boy and Villano III Jr. in the final of La Llave a la Gloria. That same night, he was named the winner of the tournament along with Ashley and El Hijo del Vikingo, but nevertheless, Director of Talent of AAA Vampiro announced that the fourteen finalists would all receive a contract with the promotion.

On November 18, 2018, Angelikal teamed up with El Hijo del Vikingo and Laredo Kid to defeat El Nuevo Poder del Norte (Carta Brava Jr., Tito Santana and Mocho Cota Jr.), that same night the trio demanded a match for the AAA World Trios Championship. In December, at Guerra de Titanes, before the fight for the titles, La Parka gave Angelikal a new mask and changed his name to Myzteziz Jr. Later, the trio defeated El Nuevo Poder del Norte to win the AAA World Trios Championship.[3] They would go on to be known as Los Jinetes del Aire (The Air Raiders). Prior to Triplemanía XXVIII, Laredo Kid vacated the AAA World Trios Championship in order to focus on his singles career following advice from La Parka and elected Golden Magic to replace him in the trio. At the event, the trio won the vacant AAA World Trios Championship in a three way match which included El Nuevo Poder del Norte and Las Fresas Salvajes (Pimpinela Escarlata, Mamba, and Máximo).[4] Later in the year, Golden Magic would change his gimmick to Octagon Jr.[5] At the 2019 Guerra de Titanes, Myzteziz Jr. and El Hijo del Vikingo unsuccessfully challenged AAA World Tag Team Champions Lucha Brothers (Fénix and Pentagón Jr.) in a match that also included Australian Suicide and Rey Horus.[6] On February 22, 2020, Los Jinetes del Aire successfully defended the AAA World Trios Championship against Los Mercenarios (La Hiedra, Rey Escorpión and Taurus).[7] The trio made a second successful defence on the May 2 episode of Major League Wrestling's Fusion against Injustice (Jordan Oliver, Kotto Brazil and Myron Reed).[8]
