In a unique blend of regional Mexican music and professional wrestling, Adriel Favela and Calle 24 have unveiled their latest creation, 'Sucio Dom.'

Adriel Favela and Calle 24's "Sucio Dom" Honors WWE Star Dominik Mysterio
On November 28, 2025, musical powerhouses Adriel Favela and Calle 24 released their new single, "Sucio Dom," accompanied by a captivating music video. The track marks a distinct departure from conventional corrido themes, instead focusing on an ode to WWE's Mexican American wrestler, Dominik Mysterio. The song's lyrics, set against the rhythmic strums of requintos, subtly weave in references to Mysterio's persona, such as "Rosary on my chest and always in black / Everything is a mystery, that's how God wanted it / Long mane like a warrior / Blood isn't heavy, loyalty wins."
Adriel Favela shared insights into the inspiration behind this unexpected collaboration, explaining that the connection to lucha libre (Mexican wrestling) felt entirely natural. He highlighted the significant role lucha libre plays in Mexican culture, embodying family values, identity, and tradition. Favela noted that despite Dominik Mysterio's American birth, the Mexican audience has ardently supported his career trajectory, embracing him as one of their own. This profound cultural bond, Favela believes, imbues the release with its true significance.
Beyond its dedication to Mysterio, "Sucio Dom" carries a broader message of resilience and aspiration. Favela describes the project as a representation of individuals who, despite feeling out of place, remain steadfast in their journey toward personal greatness. This theme resonates deeply, transforming the song into an anthem for perseverance.
The release of "Sucio Dom" caps off a prolific year for Favela. In January, he released his album Origen, which marked a return to his signature corrido sound. The album featured collaborations with artists like Carin Leon on the lead track "Un 2X3." Throughout the summer, Favela captivated audiences with sold-out performances, including a notable show at Mexico's Lunario of the National Auditorium, featuring guests such as Drake Bell. Looking ahead to 2026, Favela is set to release his eagerly anticipated album, Cobra, already previewed by tracks like "Cabrón Infeliz."
This innovative musical endeavor by Adriel Favela and Calle 24, celebrating a modern wrestling icon, underscores the evolving landscape of regional Mexican music. It demonstrates a willingness to embrace diverse influences while staying true to cultural roots, offering a fresh perspective on storytelling through corridos. The song serves as a powerful reminder that art can bridge seemingly disparate worlds, creating new narratives that resonate with wide audiences and celebrate shared heritage.
