In early 2012, Nicho started carrying his old Psicosis mask to the ring with him. On April 6, Nicho and Joe Líder interfered in each other's matches, with Líder burning Nicho's face with a fireball during a main event run-in. On May 6, Nicho returned to working under his old mask and the ring name Psicosis, continuing his rivalry with Líder. In storyline, Líder's fireball had not only severely burned Nicho's face, but the incident had also driven him insane, causing him to once again don a mask and refer to himself as Psicosis. On August 5 at "Triplemanía XX", Psicosis reunited with Líder for one night to take part in a "Parejas Suicidas" steel cage match, featuring three other former tag teams. Líder lost the match, after being turned on by Psicosis, forcing the two to face other in a Hair vs. Hair match later in the event. In the end, Psicosis won the match, forcing his rival to have his head shaved bald.
