WWE’s Lince Dorado Created Minihausen Mask For Danhausen Tag-Team Match At Backlash 2026

WWE

A WWE name has confirmed that he created the mask worn by Minihausen during his match at the Backlash Premium Live Event.

Ahead of the May 9 show, there was a lot of speculation about who Danhausen’s mystery tag-team partner would be, for his tag-team bout against The Miz and Kit Wilson.

Danhausen ultimately revealed that his partner was “Minihausen”, a clone of Danhausen who was actually played by AAA star Mascarita Sagrada, fka El Torito in WWE.

Minihausen wore a mask instead of facepaint for the match, which we now know was made by a certain wrestler and coach.

Lince Dorado has confirmed that he created Minihausen’s mask, sharing photos of the mask on his work desk on Twitter.

Gear created by Dorado has been seen on WWE TV before, with Bayley previously revealing that he created her gear for both Royal Rumble 2024 – where she won the women’s Rumble – and WrestleMania 40 – where she defeated IYO SKY to win the WWE Women’s Championship.

We could soon see more of Dorado’s work showcased at the John Cena Classic event, with Bayley teasing a match against NXT Women’s North American Champion Tatum Paxley following the announcement at Backlash.

Many WWE fans will remember Lince Dorado from his first stint with the company, which started with him competing in the 2016 Cruiserweight Classic tournament, and ending with his release in November 2021.

The former Lucha House Party member returned to the company in 2025, where he serves as a coach at the Performance Center.

Lince Dorado still wrestles for the company regularly, competing across Evolve and AAA, and in dark matches at NXT tapings.

His most recent match saw him defeat Shido Ash ahead of the May 5 NXT live broadcast, with his most recent televised appearance seeing him defeat Cruz Del Toro and Octagon Jr in three-way action in a match which aired on the May 9 edition of AAA on FOX.

While some fans were underwhelmed by Danhausen’s mystery partner reveal, Danhausen has since addressed fan speculation, pointing out that he didn’t promise CM Punk, Oba Femi, or any of the other names rumored to be his partner.

With Danhausen growing in popularity since joining WWE, we could see more appearances from Minihausen in the months to come.
