Angel Garza and Humberto Carrillo are set to be big stars in the near future.

Currently a part of NXT following a stint on the main roster, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that there are plans for the duo to return to the main roster as a babyface tag team. The long-term creative plan is to highlight the lineage of the family, as both Carrillo and Garza are related to Humberto Garza Sr. The end goal is to present the tag team as authentic Mexcian babyfaces who are the grandchildren of a legend.

As seen on the August 15th episode of NXT, a video package was aired showcasing the heritage of the family of Garza and Carrillo, featuring the late Humberto Garza Sr. providing the voiceover. Garza Sr. stated that no matter what there will always be family as clips of the cousins fighting was played over the audio.

The video package jumped to the main roster gimmick of Los Lotharios, more interested in chasing women than chasing victories, much to the annoyance of Garza, who wanted more out of wrestling. Further family photos would follow before declaring that it is a new beginning for Los Lotharios and it is time to say goodbye to the act that gives out flowers and has tearaway pants.
