Former WWE Women’s World Champion, Becky Lynch, made headlines by opting not to renew her contract with the company, setting the stage for contract negotiations with other top stars. Among these negotiations, popular SmackDown tag team, Angel Garza and Humberto, have reportedly been offered new contracts by the Stamford-based promotion.
The duo of Angel Garza and Humberto recently made a surprising return to the main roster, aiding Santos Escobar in a victory over Bobby Lashley in a United States Championship Tournament match on a Friday Night SmackDown episode. Following this, they expanded their group by adding Elektra Lopez to their faction, Legado Del Fantasma. Reports indicate that their current WWE contracts are nearing expiration later this year.
In response to queries from an X (formerly Twitter) user, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful confirmed that WWE had extended contract offers to both Angel and Berto. However, there has been no confirmation regarding whether the duo has accepted these new deals with the wrestling organization.
Angel Garza, often likened to the late Eddie Guerrero by passionate wrestling fans, recently addressed these comparisons in an interview with TV Insider. He expressed his discomfort with being labeled as the “next” someone else, emphasizing the uniqueness of each individual in the industry. Angel urged fans to appreciate wrestlers for who they are, distinct from past legends like Guerrero.
Additionally, Angel attempted to recruit Andrade to join Legado del Fantasma without success. With long-time rivals, the LWO, recently transitioning to the red brand, the future of Angel and his faction remains uncertain. Fans are encouraged to share their thoughts on Legado del Fantasma’s journey in WWE so far and speculate on what lies ahead for the SmackDown superstars.
