Jorge Arias was born in El Paso, Texas, and began his pro wrestling career in 1999.

Arias first wrestled in Mexico in the early 2000s under the ring name Mistico, and in a very interesting twist of dramatic foreshadowing, Arias was forced legally to change the spelling of the name Mistico to Mystico after CMLL won the rights to the name back in 2005. At the time, Luis Alvidre, who was the first performer to play the role of Sin Cara in WWE, was working as Mistico, forcing Jorge Arias to change the spelling of the name to Mystico. Aria would end up taking over the role of Sin Cara in WWE after Alvidre left the company.

In early 2004, Arias began working for AAA, and it was in the AAA promotion that Arias changed his ring name to Incognito in order to avoid any legal issues with CMLL.

In 2007, Arias made his Chikara debut and worked on and off with the company until 2008. Arias eventually signed with WWE in 2009 and began his WWE career in the company's developmental system which was known then as Florida Championship Wrestling.
