Apollo Crews had visions, Dijak ditched RETRIBUTION to seek justice, and Baron Corbin... well, he’s also having visions. Point is, over the past year or so more wrestlers who were adrift on Raw and SmackDown (or Main Event) have been getting the chance to try new gimmicks or characters in NXT.

Then last night, in their first match on NXT — or anywhere since a January loss to Hit Row on SmackDown — Carrillo & Garza lost to Nathan Frazer & Dragon Lee. That seemed to push Humberto to the brink. Footage from outside the Performance Center showed Carrillo confronting his cousin about whether they’re here to chase women or glory. Then he stormed off after declaring he wasn’t doing “this” anymore...
