El Hijo del Fantasma Set To Debut For NXT

The second generation luchador recently signed with WWE and will finally debut for NXT and will compete in the NXT Cruiserweight Championship Tournament, next week.

Career History

He began his professional wrestling career in 2000, as the masked ring character “Top Secret”.

While working under the Top Secret name he wore a black mask with gold trim around the eye openings.

In 2003, Alcantar adopted a new mask and name as he became “El Hijo del Fantasma” (English: “The Son of El Fantasma”), revealing to the wrestling world that he was the son of El Fantasma. 

After the name change, he began wearing a mask that closely resembled that of the comic book character The Phantom, just like his father did before him.

On July 2, 2017, El Hijo del Fantasma and Drago represented AAA at Impact Wrestling’s Slammiversary XV show; the team lost to The Latin American Xchange (Santana and Ortiz), who successfully defended the Impact Wrestling World Tag Team Championship and GFW Tag Team Championship in a match that also included the teams of Laredo Kid with Garza Jr and Naomichi Marufuji with Taiji Ishimori.

At Bound for Glory in 2017, Team AAA (El Hijo del Fantasma, Pagano and Texano) lost to Team Impact (Ethan Carter III, Eddie Edwards, and James Storm) in a six-man tag team match.
