Máscara Mágica, Misterioso, Jr's cornerman.
After the match Mictlán revealed that he was wrestling with an injured elbow but did not let that stop him from competing. He also made a ''
Luchas de Apuestas'' challenge for a "hair vs. hair" match with Máscara Mágica.
In the weeks after Mictlán's title victory Máscara Mágica repeatedly attacked Mictlán before matches, claiming that he "did not want to see Mictlán dance". Máscara Mágica pinned Mictlán in several tag and six-man matches leading up to their ''Lucha de Apuesta'' on September 17, 2009 at ''Arena Coliseo'' in Guadalajara. Mictlán won the first fall after Máscara Magica was disqualified for excessive violence. Mágica won the second fall but Mictlán picked up the third fall to win the match. Afterwards Máscara Mágica took the clippers from the official and shaved his own hair off.
