The Lucha Dragons were a Mexican-American professional wrestling tag team composed of Kalisto and Sin Cara. They previously wrestled in WWE's developmental territory NXT, where they were one-time NXT Tag Team Champions. Their name is a reference to their lucha libre style of wrestling. They won the NXT Tag Team Championships after defeating then champions The Ascension on September 11, 2014, at NXT TakeOver: Fatal 4-Way.
Jorge Arias reprised his Sin Cara character towards the end of 2013. After a brief winning streak, as 2014 progressed, Sin Cara was unsuccessful in winning four battle royals: the André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania XXX, a battle royal for the United States Championship in May, a Money in the Bank qualifying battle royal in June, and a battle royal for the Intercontinental Championship at Battleground.
Meanwhile, on the July 24 episode of NXT, after failing to win the NXT Tag Team Championship from The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor) with his former partner El Local at NXT TakeOver on May 29,Kalisto announced he and El Local had parted ways and revealed Sin Cara as his new partner.
