A Grandfather’s Legacy: The Path to Authenticity and Connection
WWE’s developmental brand, NXT, has long been a platform for budding superstars to hone their skills before making the leap to the main roster. Occasionally, main roster talents also find their way back to NXT to rejuvenate their characters. This is the case for Angel Garza and Humberto Carrillo.
The duo recently made a surprising appearance in NXT after a noticeable absence from the WWE main roster. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the long-term vision for Garza and Carrillo is to establish them as a babyface tag team. Interestingly, WWE plans to leverage their family legacy, particularly their grandfather’s, to solidify their image as authentic Mexican babyfaces. This is a departure from referencing Hector Garza, Angel’s father, who was a significant star in the family.
The overarching goal is to foster a deeper connection between the team and the WWE Universe. By tapping into their familial roots and their grandfather’s legacy, WWE hopes to resonate more profoundly with the audience.
While Angel Garza and Humberto Carrillo have immense potential, their success hinges on their ability to connect with fans. Only time will reveal if this new direction in NXT will pave the way for their triumphant return to the main roster.
