The WWE wrestler, who is friends with Wolves striker Raul Jimenez, is set to attend the Premier League game against Fulham at Molineux.

Mexican American professional wrestler Sin Cara   poses for pictures during the photocall to announce the WWE Lucha Dragons at Hacienda Los Morales on June 25, 2015 in Mexico City, Mexico.

Wolverhampton Wanderers are set to welcome a celebrity guest at their last Premier League home game of the season.

Jorge Arias, also known as Sin Cara, is a professional wrestler competing in the WWE, and has struck up a friendship with Wolves striker Raul Jimenez.

The Mexico international was on El Tri duty in March, the nation playing two games in California, and on his return to Molineux, he brought with him a luchador mask gifted by Arias.

Jimenez famously put on the mask – in which the Wolves badge features prominently – after scoring the opening goal in the 3-2 extra-time defeat to Watford in the FA Cup semi-final.

On Wednesday, Arias confirmed on his Twitter feed that he is heading to Molineux for their final home game of the season after accepting an invitation from managing director Laurie Dalrymple.

The club also tweeted him following his announcement:

Needless to say a lot of fans loved the news and took to Twitter to express their delight:

Wolves triumphed in their last Premier League game against Watford, moving four points clear of their FA Cup semi-finalist opponents in the race for seventh place in the table.
