WWE is on the verge of signing independent standouts Garza Jr and Ultimo Ninja, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
Garza, Jr. has been in the wrestling business for 10-years despite only being 25 years old. He’s the nephew of former WCW and TNA star Hector Garza, best known as a member of Eddie Guerrero's WCW group, Latino World Order, as well as a member of Team Mexico during the TNA America's X-Cup. Garza, Jr. followed his uncle's footsteps by also joining Impact Wrestling in 2017.
Garza, Jr. was a part of the Fatal 4-Way Tag Team Match at Slammiversary with Laredo Kid against champions LAX, along with Drago & El Hijo Del Fantasma and Taiji Ishimori & Naomichi Marufuji. He also was a part of the six-man X Division match at Bound for Glory, along with Trevor Lee, Matt Sydal, Dezmond Xavier, Petey Williams, and Sonjay Dutt.
Ultimo Ninja is the cousin of Garza, Jr., and the son of Humberto Garza, Jr., who is the uncle of Garza, Jr. although they share the same name. He’s recently competed in The Crash promotion, as well as MLW and Aro Lucha.
Both Garza, Jr. and Ultimo Ninja are currently undergoing medicals, according to the Observer. If they pass then it’s expected that both men will receive a contract offer. Garza Jr. is coming off shoulder surgery, and was last a part of the November Impact Wrestling tapings. At the tapings, he picked up six- and 10-man tag team match victories.
WWE is once again becoming very aggressive in signing new Mexican wrestlers as well as reconciling relationships with older stars. The company still looks to target that demographic. Recently, both Rey Mysterio and Alberto Del Rio (El Patron) have been in talks with WWE for a possible return.
