A third-generation wrestler, he is the son of Villano III and La Infernal, and grandson of Ray Mendoza.
El Hijo del Villano III's real name is not a matter of public record, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans.
[4][5] He started training for a career in lucha libre when he was only 8 years old and made his actual debut at the age of 15.
[6] El Hijo del Villano III made his first in-ring appearance at the age of just 13, working an exhibition match on the undercard of a show honoring his father's 40th wrestling anniversary.
El Hijo del Villano III was teamed up with one of CMLL's main event performers, Carístico.
