Wrestling fans on Twitter are buzzing with excitement after Tony Khan announced that former WWE Superstar Mistico will be making his AEW debut.
Mistico, who made a name for himself in WWE as Sin Cara, was also a tag team partner with superstars like Rey Mysterio and Kalisto.

Earlier today on Twitter, Tony Khan announced that former WWE Superstar Mistico will be making his AEW debut on the October 20 edition of Rampage. He will face Rocky Romero in a grudge match for the title of "Mexico's Pound-For-Pound Crown."

Tony Khan wants to be like Paul Heyman or Vince McMahon, says WWE Hall of Famer
WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff said that Tony Khan wanted to be like Paul Heyman and Vince McMahon but didn't want any help.
Speaking on the Strictly Business podcast, Bischoff said Khan is just beyond help.
“I think Tony’s beyond help. I don’t think Tony Khan is the type of person that wants help. I think Tony Khan, more than anything else, wants to be Paul Heyman or wants to be Vince McMahon. Yeah, this is a vanity project. He loves wrestling. Okay, I get it. He loves wrestling. He loves it. He loves it with every fiber of his being. That doesn’t mean he’s good at it."
He continued:
"Unless Tony recognizes that he’s not good at it, you could bring in anybody you wanted to, and it won’t work because he won’t listen, not to the extent that he needs to. I wouldn’t wish that position on anybody that I know. Absolutely not.”
Since losing to NXT this Tuesday, Khan has been having a meltdown on Twitter, taking shots at legends like The Undertaker, John Cena, and Shawn Michaels.
