Octagón Jr.'s Performers in AAA

The Octagón Jr. character has been portrayed by several wrestlers in AAA, each marking a distinct stage in the evolution of the original Octagón's legacy. Below is a breakdown of the succession of performers and their contributions to the character. .

1. Kalisto (Samuray del Sol)

• Octagón Jr. (AAA, 2012-2013):
  
• Samuray del Sol, known worldwide as Kalisto, was the first Octagón Jr., debuting in AAA in 2012. His high-flying style and charisma made him a natural choice to carry on the legacy of Octagón, a wrestler known for his agility and connection with the fans. However, his time as Octagón Jr. was brief, as in 2013 he signed with WWE, where he rose to fame as Kalisto, winning the United States Championship and the NXT Tag Team Championship. His departure left the character vacant, opening the door for new performers. 

2. Flamita

• Octagón Jr. (AAA, 2016):
• In 2016, AAA reintroduced the Octagón Jr. character with Flamita, a talented technical wrestler known for his work on the independent circuit and in promotions such as Dragon Gate. However, his tenure was marked by significant controversy. The original Octagón, who claimed legal rights to the name, publicly opposed this reassignment. In a dramatic incident during an autograph signing, Octagón unmasked Flamita, declaring that only he and his son, El Hijo de Octagón, had the right to use the name. This event, widely discussed on social media, ended Flamita's brief reign as Octagón Jr. and highlighted the legal tensions between AAA and the original Octagón. 
  
  

3. Golden Magic 

• Magia (CMLL, pre-2016): This wrestler began his career in Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) under the name Magia, standing out for his technical style. 
• Golden Magic (IWRG/Lucha Libre Elite, pre-2015): Later, he established himself in International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) and Lucha Libre Elite as Golden Magic, gaining recognition for his versatility and aerial abilities. 
• Myzteziz Jr. (AAA, 2015-2019): Before taking on the role of Octagón Jr., this wrestler was also reassigned as Myzteziz Jr. in AAA following the departure of Ignacio Uribe (OriginalSin cara), who originally used the Myzteziz character. 
• Octagón Jr. (AAA, 2019–present): Since 2019, Golden Magic has been the reigning Octagón Jr. in AAA, carrying the character to high-profile events. In 2025, he participated in a WWE Intercontinental Championship match against Dominik Mysterio at Money in the Bank, though he was unsuccessful in capturing the title. His career has included international appearances, such as in Japan, cementing the character on the global stage.

Hijo de Octagon: The Unofficial Successor, Backed by the Original. 

Unlike the versions of Octagón Jr. created by AAA, El Hijo de Octagón is the biological son of the original Octagón and has been presented as his legitimate heir. This character emerged in the context of legal disputes between Octagón and AAA over the rights to the name. 

• El Hijo de Octagón (CMLL/Independiente, post-2016):
• In 2016, during a press conference, Octagón introduced his son as El Hijo de Octagón, declaring that only he and Octagoncito (another authorized character) could use the name Octagón. This announcement was a direct response to AAA's versions of Octagón Jr., which Octagón considered unauthorized. El Hijo de Octagón has competed primarily in CMLL, where he has sought to establish his own legacy.

Controversies and Legacy 

The history of Octagón Jr. is marked by legal and moral conflicts over the ownership of the name. The original Octagón has fiercely defended his legacy, arguing that only his son, El Hijo de Octagón, has the right to continue the tradition. AAA, for its part, has continued to use the name Octagón Jr. for different wrestlers, sparking tensions and debates about authenticity and ethics in wrestling. These disputes reflect a common practice in Mexico, where promotions control the rights to characters, but also highlight the importance of family heritage in wrestling culture.

Conclusion

Octagón Jr.'s legacy is a narrative of reinvention and conflict, where wrestlers like Kalisto, Flamita, and Golden Magic have brought an iconic character to life under the shadow of legal controversies. Meanwhile, El Hijo de Octagón carries the banner of family tradition, supported by his father and struggling to forge his own path in CMLL.
