Bandido (born April 17, 1995) is a Mexican luchador enmascarado (masked professional wrestler), who is currently signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW). He is widely known for his work in Ring of Honor (ROH), where he is a former one-time ROH World Champion as well as his work in a range of promotions, such as promotions Lucha Libre Elite (LLE), The Crash Lucha Libre and Dragon Gate (DG).
Bandido is a fourth-generation wrestler, a relative of Apóstol Jr., Myzteziz Jr., and cousin of Magia Blanca. Bandido's real name is not publicly known, which is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico.
Bandido previously worked under the ring names "Magnífico II" and "Cielito" but since 2016, he has used the ring character Bandido, who wears a mask that incorporates a bandana covering the lower part of his face in the style of Wild West outlaw. Bandido regularly teamed with Flamita, forming a duo known as "Mexa Blood". Bandido is a one-time PWG World Champion, and with Flamita and Rey Horus he has held the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship. Bandido has also achieved much success as a singles competitor, his feats including winning PWG's 2019 Battle of Los Angeles, and ROH's 2021 Survival of the Fittest tournaments. Bandido is a former world champion in the latter promotions, winning the PWG World Championship and Ring of Honor World Championship.
