Angel Garza thanks fans following WWE Raw squash match
Angel Garza started his Monday night getting squashed in a dominant fashion. He ended it thanking fans on social media with an ominous post.
Garza and his cousin, Humberto “Berto” Carillo, made a surprise appearance on Monday Night Raw, getting destroyed by Oba Femi in a two-on-one handicap match. It was particularly unexpected because both are technically part of the SmackDown roster; it was the first Monday Night Raw match for either of them since a battle royal in 2023.
Shortly after Raw ended, Garza issued the following statement on social media: “Thank you to everyone who never jumped off the ship and kept supporting the Garza Legacy through it all.”
In light of the ongoing roster purge in WWE, the surprise appearance, one-sided loss, and cryptic statement all seem like ominous signs for the future of Los Garza in the company.
Garza and Carillo made separate debuts as singles wrestlers on WWE’s main roster in 2019. Garza would compete at WrestleMania 36 the next year, teaming with Austin Theory in a loss to the Street Profits. The two were put together as a team in 2021 and have been united ever since.
They won the AAA World Tag Team Championships at Triplemania last June, but then lost the titles to Psycho Clown & Pagano that August. They have been appearing regularly on SmackDown, Main Event, and house shows since then, but have won only one match between them: Berto defeated Apollo Crews on Main Event in February.
Tag team match announced for WWE SmackDown
Bianca Belair & Charlotte Flair are set to team up on SmackDown tonight.
WWE has announced that tonight’s SmackDown will feature a tag team match with Belair & Charlotte taking on Damage CTRL (IYO SKY & Bayley). The episode is taking place in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
On last week’s SmackDown, Damage CTRL interrupted a match between Charlotte and Asuka. SKY and Bayley attacked both Charlotte and Asuka and caused the match to end in a no contest.
SKY became WWE Women’s Champion by cashing in her Money in the Bank briefcase on Belair at SummerSlam earlier this month. Belair had just become champion by defeating Asuka and Charlotte in a triple threat match.
WWE has also confirmed that Santos Escobar will be joining Rey Mysterio on The Grayson Waller Effect tonight. Last Friday, Mysterio subbed in for Escobar and defeated Austin Theory to become United States Champion. Escobar wasn’t able to compete following an angle where he was attacked by Theory.
Here’s the updated lineup for tonight’s show:
- Edge vs. Sheamus (Edge’s 25th anniversary celebration)
- Bianca Belair & Charlotte Flair vs. Damage CTRL (IYO SKY & Bayley)
- The Grayson Waller Effect with guests Rey Mysterio and Santos Escobar
