High praise indeed for this WWE up-and-comer.

Vince McMahon reportedly sees Angel Garza as a "young Eddie Guerrero."

This is according to a new report from talkSPORT's Alex McCarthy, who is usually right on the money when it comes to insider WWE reports.

That the WWE Chairman and CEO has seemingly become such a big fan of Garza is interesting. While there are definitely parallels between Angel and Eddie in terms of charisma, wrestling style, and onscreen persona, Fightful had previously reported that the only thing Vince knew about Garza when Paul Heyman brought him to Raw was that he was related to Humberto Carrillo.

Garza is widely considered one of WWE's most promising prospects. He is already a well-rounded television performer at just 27 years old and his plenty of room to grow, having established himself as an outstanding in-ring talent with a cocky gimmick that translates as well on Raw as it did in NXT.

Interestingly, Garza has only been with WWE since 2019, having inked a contract with the promotion that April. Making it to a prominent Raw role in such little time speaks volumes of the faith the company have in him. Here's hoping he keeps surging.
