Folks, let me tell you, just when you thought WWE’s contract drama was slowing down, they’re back with another episode of “Days of Our Wrestling Lives.” This time, the star of the show is none other than Angel Garza. Yes, you heard it right, Angel Garza! The heartthrob of Legado Del Fantasma is nearing the end of his WWE contract, set to expire on August 1.
The sleuths at Fightful Select have revealed that Lucha Libre Online first broke the news about Garza’s deal reaching its twilight. As the countdown begins, negotiations are hotter than a summer barbecue. WWE has already slid a new contract across the table, but Garza hasn’t put pen to paper yet. Maybe he’s holding out for a better catering menu, who knows?
Now, let’s take a trip down memory lane. Garza strutted into WWE back in 2019, dazzling everyone with his moves from the Mexican and American independent scenes, not to mention his stints in AAA and Impact Wrestling (or TNA for the purists). He’s not just a pretty face; he’s a former WWE Cruiserweight Champion and a WWE 24/7 Champion. And let’s not forget, he often tags along with his real-life cousin Humberto Carrillo. Fun fact: if Garza leaves WWE, he might just use the name Humberto in other promotions – because, folks, WWE has got Angel locked down tighter than a steel cage match.
Garza is still slated to show off his skills at upcoming WWE live events and was last seen on “WWE Smackdown” on May 17. With Legado Del Fantasma now part of the blue brand thanks to the 2024 draft, the drama is at an all-time high. And in case you’re wondering, Garza isn’t alone in this contract cliffhanger. Ricochet’s deal is expiring before summer’s end, Chad Gable could be a free man by the end of the week, and Becky Lynch is already playing the free agent field.
