However, the star also wrestled a few matches in WWE (then WWF) in 1999 under the ring name El Bandido.
WWE legend X-Pac recently took to X (fka Twitter) to send an emotional message after Mexican legend Scorpio Jr. passed away at only 58 years of age. The Hall of Famer wrote that he was heartbroken by the devastating news. X-Pac also revealed that he shared the ring and locker room with the former El Bandido in Japan and Mexico.
"I'm sad to learn of Scorpio Jr.'s passing. We shared a ring & locker room together in Japan & Mexico over the years, since 1992. Una verdadera leyenda y bueno gente," he wrote.

WWE legend X-Pac was full of praise for Damian Priest
Last year, after Damian Priest won the Money in the Bank briefcase, X-Pac talked about The Archer of Infamy during an interview with Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp. The Hall of Famer said that he was a big supporter of Priest and believed the latter would look good in a nWo or a D-Generation X t-shirt.
"I’m a big supporter of Damian Priest. He’s been one of my draft picks, as Scott Hall used to say, since before he even got into the WWE. Especially after he got signed by them and started really putting in all the work. He’s got that Money in the Bank briefcase now. Anyways, he’d look sweet in nWo shirt on or DX."
Scorpio Jr. has left a lasting impact on the world of professional wrestling, and the luchador's name will forever be written in history books.
We at Sportskeeda send our condolences to Scorpio Jr.'s loved ones during this extremely difficult time.
