In a season that has already seen Mick Foley attend a Sheffield United game, it's now seemingly become the thing for WWE superstars to turn up at relatively obscure English football matches.

The latest is Sin Cara, who has announced that he will be in the crowd at Molineux on Sunday to watch the Wolverhampton Wanderers' final home contest of the season against Fulham. He will be attending as a VIP guest of Wolves striker and fellow countryman Raul Jimenez, with whom he has struck up quite a bond over the past few weeks.

It all began back in March, when Sin Cara sent his footballing friend a custom-made, personalised luchador mask resplendent in old gold and covered in Wolves club crests. Jimenez then celebrated scoring against Watford in the FA Cup semifinal by donning the mask and adopting Sin Cara's trademark "prayer" pose.

Time to raise our heads and continue.🐺⚽️🙇🏽♂️

While obviously just a bit of fun, the celebration attracted scorn from some quarters, most notably from Watford captain Troy Deeney, who derided Jimenez for staging such an elaborate performance only to ultimately go on and lose the game. However, Sin Cara then spoke out in Jimenez's defence, informing Deeney and the braying hordes that lucha libre masks are a staple of Mexican culture and that his serves as a reminder to young fans that they should never give up on chasing their dreams.

One thing then led to another, and a few weeks down the line, Sin Cara found himself accepting an invitation from Jimenez to come and watch him play.

Indeed, with mask in tow, the Mexican grappler boarded a plane on Thursday and began his entirely unlikely voyage from Mexico City to sunny Wolverhampton.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before Sin Cara made it to the Wolves' training ground, where he swapped trinkets and posed for photos with Jimenez, his new "gran amigo."

And it would have been silly to have flown all that way and not take in a game, so Sin Cara was at Molineux on saturday to meet fans and watch the team's 1-0 win ove rFulham

Jamas imagine que un balón ⚽️ y una mascara 🎭 pudieran unir a multitudes❗️

Thanks to the @Wolves 🐺 and my friend Raul Jimenez for letting me be a part of this amazing experience.🙏🏼
