MexaBlood was a Mexican professional wrestling tag team consisting of Bandido and Flamita. The team wrestled for various international promotions, such as World Series Wrestling in Australia, PROGRESS Wrestling and Revolution Pro Wrestling in England, Dragon Gate in Japan, Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide and The Crash in Mexico, and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla and Ring of Honor in the United States.
Bandido and Flamita began teaming together in Dragon Gate in 2018, and soon formed the tag team "MexaBlood". The team became very successful as they won numerous championships including the The Crash Tag Team Championship, and PROGRESS Tag Team Championship. In 2020, the team expanded into a faction as they were joined by Rey Horus. The trio began teaming as "MexiSquad" and won the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship. MexiSquad became the longest-reigning World Six-Man Tag Team Champions, holding the title for a record 405 days. MexaBlood broke up when Flamita turned on Bandido after losing a match in 2021. Bandido would then continue to team with Horus as MexiSquad until the team quietly disbanded as they went their separate ways.
