Místico (2012–2021)

On June 20, 2012, CMLL held a press conference, during which wrestling priest Fray Tormenta announced that since Dragon Lee had impressed him during the En Busca de un Ídolo tournament, he wanted him to take over the role of Místico, his storyline protégé. Lee immediately accepted Tormenta's offer and received his new mask to officially become the second incarnation of Místico, taking over the highly successful role following the character's original performer, who had signed with WWE in January 2011. Lee wrestled his final match under his old persona on June 24, when he, Diamante and Tritón defeated Cancerbero, Niebla Roja and Raziel via disqualification. Afterwards, Roja attacked Lee, removed his mask and tore it to pieces. For the next six weeks, Místico went on a publicity tour to promote the upcoming "new era" of Místico.

The new Místico made his in-ring debut on August 3 on the Super Viernes show in a six-man tag team match, where he, Ángel de Oro and Valiente defeated Ephesto, Euforia and Mephisto. The debut match caused a spike in CMLL attendance, drawing 12,600 fans to Arena México. Místico scored his first direct win the following day, teaming with Atlantis and Titán to defeat Dragón Rojo Jr., Negro Casas and former CMLL World Heavyweight Champion Último Guerrero, whom he pinned. On September 30, Místico won his first title, defeating Último Guerrero and Atlantis in a three-way match for the Lucha Libre Azteca (LLA) Azteca Championship. Later that day, Místico was sidelined with an injury after failing to properly execute a shooting star press, landing on his shoulder. He returned to the ring on January 8, 2013, teaming with Máscara Dorada and Titán to defeat Los Hijos del Averno (Averno, Ephesto and Mephisto). The following day, during a match where he, Atlantis and Marco Corleone faced Euforia, Guerrero and Volador Jr., Místico suffered yet another shoulder injury, following a failed springboard dive, and was rushed to an emergency room. Místico returned to the ring on February 18, teaming with La Máscara and La Sombra to defeat Los Invasores (Kraneo, Psicosis and Volador Jr.). On April 19, Místico took part in a ten-man torneo cibernetico to determine the contenders for the vacant Mexican National Welterweight Championship. He and Averno survived the match, setting up a title match between the two, which Místico lost on April 26 at the Arena Mexico 57th Anniversary Show.

In May, Místico came together with Máscara Dorada and Valiente to form the Los Estetas del Aire ("The Air Aesthetics") stable, with the three debuting identical masks containing elements of each wrestler's own mask. On May 12, Místico was stripped of the LLA Azteca Championship after his title defense against La Sombra and Volador Jr. in a triple threat match ended in a thirty-minute time limit draw. On June 9, Los Estetas del Aire entered a tournament for the vacant CMLL World Trios Championship, first defeating Los Invasores (Mr. Águila, Psicosis and Volador Jr.) in the quarterfinals and then TRT (Rey Bucanero, El Terrible and Tiger) in the semifinals to advance to the following week's tournament finals, where they defeated Los Guerreros Laguneros (Euforia, Niebla Roja and Último Guerrero) to become the new CMLL World Trios Champions. On September 13 at CMLL's 80th Anniversary Show, Los Estetas del Aire successfully defended the CMLL World Trios Championship against Los Revolucionarios del Terror (Dragón Rojo Jr., Pólvora and Rey Escorpión). Místico won his first singles title in CMLL when he defeated Pólvora for the CMLL World Welterweight Championship on February 16, 2014. On March 28, Los Estetas del Aire lost the CMLL World Trios Championship to Los Guerreros Laguneros (Euforia, Niebla Roja and Último Guerrero). On May 2, Místico was involved in a motorcycle accident in which he broke both the fibula and tibia in his right leg, forcing him to undergo surgery the following day. During a press conference on November 19, Místico announced that he was not ready to return to the ring and vacated the CMLL World Welterweight Championship.

On February 7, 2015, Místico formed a new stable named Sky Team with Valiente and Volador Jr., defeating Los Guerreros Laguneros the following week to win the CMLL World Trios Championship. Místico won the 2016 Torneo Increíble de Parejas after he and Mephisto defeated Carístico (the original Místico) and Cibernético in the finals on April 29. By virtue of being part of the CMLL World Trios Champions, Místico qualified for the 2017 Universal Championship tournament. In the first round, he defeated one-third of the Mexican National Trios Champions, Mephisto, but lost to CMLL World Light Heavyweight Champion Niebla Roja in the second round. Místico and Mephisto once again teamed up for the 2018 Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increíbles, defeating Soberano Jr. and Hechicero in the first round, Gran Guerrero and Niebla Roja in the second round, but lost to Último Guerrero and Volador Jr. in the semi-final match. They lost the CMLL World Trios Championship back to Los Guerreros Laguneros on July 1, ending their reign after 1,234 days and 10 successful title defenses. On August 25, 2021, Místico announced his departure from the promotion after eleven years, and would be known as Dralístico going forward (a portmanteau of his previous ring names).

New Japan Pro-Wrestling (2013–2019) On November 12, 2012, New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) announced that Místico would be making his Japanese debut at Fantastica Mania 2013 in January 2013. On January 15, NJPW announced that Místico would be unable to wrestle at the Fantastica Mania events due to a dislocated shoulder, but would still attend the events to sign autographs. During the first night of the Fantastica Mania weekend on January 18, Místico made an appearance, greeting the fans in attendance at Korakuen Hall.

On January 14, 2014, during the opening event of the Fantastica Mania 2014 tour, Místico made his Japanese in-ring debut, pinning Rey Escorpión to win a six-man tag team main event. Four days later, in the main event of the fourth show of the tour, Místico unsuccessfully challenged Mephisto for the Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship.

Following an injury, Místico returned to the ring on January 13, 2015, during the first day of the Fantastica Mania 2015 tour in Osaka, Japan. He teamed with Jyushin Thunder Liger in a tag team match, where they were defeated by Gedo and Pólvora. Místico worked the entire tour opposite Pólvora, culminating in a singles match between the two on January 19, where Místico was victorious. In January 2016, Místico main evented three of the six shows of the Fantastica Mania 2016 tour. The following January, Místico again traveled to Japan to take part in the Fantastica Mania 2017 tour. He and Dragon Lee joined forces to compete in CMLL's 2018 "Brothers tag team tournament" during the Fantastica Mania 2018 tour. The Muñoz brothers defeated El Cuatrero and Sansón in the first round, but lost to Último Guerrero and Gran Guerrero in the finals. The following year, Místico participated in the eight-show Fantastica Mania 2019 tour, marking his sixth and final Fantastica Mania tour. He worked opposite Carístico on several nights and competed in the CMLL family tag team tournament.

Independent circuit (2017–2018) In August, Místico took part in War of the Worlds UK, a tour co-produced by CMLL, NJPW, Revolution Pro Wrestling (RPW) and Ring of Honor (ROH) in the United Kingdom. During the tour's first event on August 18, Místico teamed with NJPW wrestler Jushin Thunder Liger and ROH wrestler Delirious to unsuccessfully challenge Dalton Castle and The Boys for the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship. Místico made an appearance for The Crash Lucha Libre on January 12, 2018, as part of CMLL/The Crash collaboration. Místico and Rey Horus lost to Penta 0M in a three-way match.

Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (2021–2023) On September 4, 2021, it was announced that Dralístico had joined La Facción Ingobernable, alongside his father and his brothers. On October 9, at Héroes Inmortales XIV, Dralístico made his debut for Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA), when he and Dragon Lee challenged Los Lucha Bros (Fénix and Pentagón Jr.) for the AAA World Tag Team Championship, after they had retained the title over Jinetes del Aire (Hijo del Vikingo and Laredo Kid). In December 2023, Dralístico announced that he had left AAA and would be working as an independent talent in Mexico.

All Elite Wrestling / Ring of Honor (2022–present)

In late 2022, Dralístico began to appear in AAA's U.S. partner promotions All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and its sister promotion Ring of Honor (ROH), aligning himself with Rush as part of La Facción Ingobernable (LFI). On March 31, 2023, at Supercard of Honor, Dralístico and Rush took part in a "Reach for the Sky" ladder match for the vacant ROH World Tag Team Championship, which was won by the Lucha Brothers.
