At least nine of his uncles are luchadors and his cousin Manuel Andrade, best known as La Sombra currently works for AEW. Espanto Jr. original worked under the ring name "Moro Jr." after his grandfather and later took the name "Hijo del Pentagón" after his father who portrayed the original Pentagón.
