The big surprise at WWE Backlash 2026 was that Danhausen’s mystery partner wasn’t CM Punk or Jelly Roll, but Minihausen, who burst from a cloning machine to answer the rising star. The agile mini wrestler dazzled fans with crisp lucha libre maneuvers, perfectly complementing Danhausen’s chaotic energy to defeat The Miz and Kit Wilson. And now, after wowing the crows, PWInsider.com has reported that the pint-sized clone was former WWE talent El Torito.

El Torito is a legendary Mexican luchador also known as Mascarita Dorada and Mascarita Sagrada. Debuting in 2000, he wrestled as part of AAA’s mini division before moving to CMLL. From there, he had a WWE run from 2013 to 2016 as Los Matadores’ mascot, which memorably featured his acclaimed WeeLC victory over Hornswoggle at Extreme Rules 2014. Yet, while he was released in 2016, WWE’s acquisition of AAA opened the door for his unexpected return.
