Miguel Aarón López Hernández (born November 9, 1988) is an American luchador enmascarado, or masked professional wrestler, best known under the name El Hijo de Rey Misterio. His ring name is Spanish for "The Son of the King Mystery" or more correctly "The Son of Rey Misterio", and is the nephew of the luchador, Rey Misterio Sr. He is also the cousin of Rey Mysterio, who started his career as "Rey Misterio Jr." He mainly works on the independent circuit in the United States, especially in California and in Mexico, especially in Tijuana, Baja California.
El Hijo de Rey Misterio grew up in a wrestling family with both his uncle and his cousin being very well known Luchadors. Despite the ring name, in an interview on YouTube he revealed Rey Misterio is actually his uncle. At the age of 13 he began training with his uncle Miguel Ángel López Díaz who wrestles as Rey Misterio (Sr.) at his uncle's wrestling school in Tijuana. He made his professional wrestling debut in 2006, initially working under the ring name Diablo. By the end of 2006 his uncle gave him permission to use the "Rey Misterio" name and he became "El Hijo de Rey Misterio". The name has led to some confusion, especially when wrestling in the United States where a lot of fans have mistaken him for the son of Rey Mysterio, but Mysterio is actually his cousin. Some promoters have actively sought to exploit this confusion by neglecting to bill him as "El Hijo de" and just billed him as Rey Misterio. In one controversial case a Bolivian promoter used World Wrestling Entertainment footage of Rey Mysterio to promote a tour by El Hijo de Rey Misterio, when Hijo de Rey Misterio found out he cancelled his tour. When El Hijo de Rey Misterio cancelled his tour the Bolivian promoter had someone else wrestle under the mask, pretending to be El Hijo de Rey Misterio.
