Máscara Dorada (born May 22, 2001) is the ring name of a Mexican professional wrestler signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). He is the current World Historic Welterweight Champion in his first reign and one-third of the CMLL World Trios Champions with Místico and Neón as El Sky Team. Dorada is also one-half of the ROH World Tag Team Champions with Místico. Dorada has also appeared in international promotions, including New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), through CMLL’s partnerships.
A second-generation wrestler, he is the son of Panterita del Ring and the nephew of Luciferno. He began his career in 2021 under the ring name Panterita del Ring Jr., winning the Mexican National Lightweight Championship and the 2022 Torneo Gran Alternativa. In 2023, he adopted the ring name Máscara Dorada, previously used by Gran Metalik. He went on to win the 2023 and 2026 Leyenda de Plata, the World Historic Welterweight Championship, the 2024 and 2026 Universal Championship, and the CMLL World Trios Championship twice.
He was born on 22 May 2001 in Mexico City, the son of Panterita del Ring and the nephew of Luciferno. His cousin, El Rebelde, is also a wrestler. He began training in Olympic wrestling at the age of nine and became a national champion. However, he paused his Olympic training during the COVID-19 pandemic and began training for a career in professional wrestling.
