Los Lotharios On When They Initially Pitched Tag Team, WWE Forgetting They Were Cousins

In a recent interview with Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, Los Lotharios (Angel Garza and Humberto Carrillo) discussed when they initially pitched being a tag team, WWE forgetting they were cousins, and much more. Here are some highlights:

Angel Garza on when they initially pitched being a tag team: “We pitched it before, a year, ago more or less. We tried to do this tag team and they were like, ‘We see you, Humberto, as a babyface. You are a heel. So there’s no way for us to put you guys together.’ We were like, ‘Now you have a lot of things to go with, if you put us together.’ ‘We don’t think that.’ Okay, put it on the table, that’s it. We kept going with our own paths and then at some point, they were like, ‘Hey, we want to give you guys a shot.’ ‘Of what?’ ‘Tagging each other. You guys are gonna be on Main Event. We want to see you guys together.’ We were like, ‘Okay, great.’ Then, after that, they were like, ‘You guys look great. We have gold right there.’ Hopefully we keep doing the same thing.’”

Humberto Carrillo on their pairing as a team: “It feels better because it feels more natural. As you said, we know each other since we were kids. We’re cousins. The stuff that we were doing as kids, now we’re doing right here professionally. It just feels amazing. Just goes natural. I know he has my back, I got his back. We’re complementing each other.”

Garza on WWE forgetting they were cousins: “They’re supposed to know that. When they hired us, we did the tryout together. We did everything together. We moved to Orlando almost together. I think they knew we were cousins. But after that, they were like, ‘Oh, you guys are cousins?’ Yes, we are. It all feels natural.”
