Which Current WWE Star Viewed Raw As A "Hard Step"?
Someone had a word in his ear...
WWE's Angel Garza found the leap from NXT to Monday Night Raw rather difficult.
During an interview with talkSPORT, Andrade's tag-team partner recalled debuting on the 3 February episode by attacking Humberto Carrillo and wrestling Rey Mysterio. The latter moment was a huge deal to him personally, because Garza knew WWE were testing him to see whether he'd sink or swim against such a high profile name.
Problems started the night before when WWE staff handed Angel a promo they wanted him to memorise. When he arrived at the building the next day, they handed him another sheet or paper. Then another one. Then another one.
That's when Garza asked, "You guys know English isn't my first language, right?".
When he came out with Zelina Vega for his segment, Garza whispered to her, "This is going to be hard". To her credit, Vega calmed him down by taking control and replying, "No it's not - just follow me".
Garza instantly felt better about things and borrowed some of Zelina's confidence. Afterwards, he viewed the experience as a "hard step" and realised that re-writes are part and parcel of WWE life.
