WWE Expected To Sign Mexican Wrestling Cousins
Garza Jr. and Ultimo Ninja are reportedly incoming...
The Wrestling Observer are reporting that WWE will offer contracts to Mexican stars Humberto Garza Jr. and Ultimo Ninja should they pass medicals with the company.
Though Garza (the nephew of the late Héctor Garza) had been seen recently working for Impact Wrestling, it looks like he's set to join WWE shortly after WrestleMania 34 with his cousin; together as a tag-team, Garza Jr. and Ultimo Ninja have won tag titles in The Crash Lucha Libre. They've also worked as opponents elsewhere in other promotions.
Both are super-young (Garza is 25 and Ninja 22) but have experience. Ultimo Ninja has been working for five years and Garza Jr. has over a decade of ring time under his belt. That background and their family ties should serve them well in WWE.
It's interesting to note that Garza had been working through a shoulder injury lately. Hopefully, that issue won't derail his hopes of signing a WWE deal. Once both do, it's likely they'll either be posted to NXT or become part of the 205 Live roster immediately.
Should it be the latter, Garza will be required to shift around 10lbs of weight to meet the 205 limit.
