June 17, 2009 Dos Caras, Jr. confirmed that he had signed a three-year contract with WWE, stating that he would not have to go to Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW, the WWE’s developmental territory) but would go directly to the main roster. Furthermore he would retain the rights to his name, mask and image but allow the WWE to use it for promotional purporses while he is under contract with them. He agreed to the contract since it addressed the main reasons why he turned down the WWE’s offer in January 2009.[21] Dos Caras Jr. had a match with Kris Logan at FCW which he lost and was announced simply as “Dos”, despite what was originally stated about him not going to FCW.[22] Then at the August 6, 2009 FCW taping Dos Caras, Jr. had a new gimmick and unmasked as Alberto Banderas during a segment on Abraham Washington show.[1] On April 7, 2010 during Raw’s “WrestleMania Revenge” tour of Europe, Caras made numerous appearances in dark matches for the Raw brand. On the night he wrestled as Dos Caras (without the Jr.), but did not wear his trademark mask. He was presented as a heel in his losing effort against Christian.[3][23] The following month Caras put his mask back on for WWE’s tour of Mexico and worked as a face, prior to returning unmasked during dark matches for subsequent RAW and SmackDown shows.
SmackDown

On the June 25, 2010, edition of SmackDown Caras debuted on a pre-taped promo as the unmasked Alberto Del Rio, claiming to be the “only real honest man.” Thereafter, a vignette aired every week on Smackdown hyping his debut until the August 20th edition of Smackdown when he debuted as a heel defeating Rey Mysterio by submission.
