==Professional wrestling career== ===Independent circuit (2007–2020)=== Horus began professional wrestling in 2007 in some Tijuana promotions.
On May 27, 2011, since the retirement of [[El Hijo de Rey Misterio]], he was presented by both [[Rey Misterio Sr.]] and [[Konnan]] as the second El Hijo de Rey Misterio, making his debut in Tijuana.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Meltzer|first=Dave|author-link=Dave Meltzer|date=June 2, 2011|title=Jun 2 Observer Newsletter: UFC 130 in-depth, Super Hate stroke, St. Pierre vs. Diaz, Flair trouble, Mania buyrate, Lesnar surgery, Dana on Sonnen, Averno to WWE, more|periodical=[[Dave Meltzer#Wrestling Observer Newsletter|Wrestling Observer Newsletter]]|location=Campbell, CA|page=21|issn=1083-9593|quote=The debut of the new El Hijo de Rey Misterio took place on 5/27 in Tijuana. Both the original Rey Misterio (Miguel Lopez, the uncle of the WWE wrestler) and Konnan introduced the new Rey, who had been wrestling as a prelim wrestler Horus on area shows. He is not related to either Lopez or Oscar Gutierrez, who is the WWE version. Lopez’s real son had done the role and got similar tattoos and contacts as the WWE version and worked a lot of indies in the U.S. and was probably the biggest independent wrestling draw in the U.S. now that El Hijo del Santo rarely comes, but he grew tired of the business.}}</ref> His first match as Misterio was a tournament to crown the [[WWA World Welterweight Championship|WWA World Welterweight Champion]] on May 27, 2011, which Horus won. In 2014, Misterio changed his name to Rey Horus, because the original El Hijo de Rey Misterio returned to wrestling.
On March 27, 2015, Horus made his biggest appearance in the United States when he participated in the WrestleMania Weekend King of Indies tournament.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/Torch_Today_2/article_84069.shtml|title=PWTorch.com - WRESTLEMANIA WEEK GUIDE - Sunday: Hart & HBK Axxess, WrestleCon Brunch, more|work=pwtorch.com}}</ref> Horus defeated Lil Cholo in the first round,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/Arena_Reports_10/article_84135.shtml|title=PWTorch.com - SHOW RESULTS - 3/27 King of Indies Night 1 in San Jose, Calif.: Cage vs. B-Boy, Willie Mack, Ricochet, more|work=pwtorch.com}}</ref> but on March 28 he was defeated by [[Willie Mack]] in the quarter-final match.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/Arena_Reports_10/article_84146.shtml|title=PWTorch.com - SHOW RESULTS - 3/28 King of Indies Night 2 in San Jose, Calif.: Tournament winner determined, Ultimo Dragon vs. Juvi, more|work=pwtorch.com}}</ref> On April 6, 2015, [[Evolve (professional wrestling)|Evolve]] announced Horus as [[A.
