Humberto Carrillo made his 205 Live debut tonight in Birmingham, AL. Carillo answered Buddy Murphy’s open challenge in the main event of the show.
Humberto signed with the WWE last year, and reported to the Performance Center in October. He teamed with Raul Mendoza on NXT for the tail end of the year.
The match tonight on 205 Live showed the WWE Universe what Humberto is all about. He showcased his vast variety of high flying moves, and put on quite the match with Buddy Murphy. Murphy ended up being victorious.

Humberto is scheduled to be a part of the WWE’s Worlds Collide Tournament Royal Rumble representing 205 Live.
Humberto is formerly known as masked superstar Ultimo Ninja. Him and his cousin Garza Jr. both were approached by WWE early last year. Garza Jr. did not pass the medical evaluation, and was not signed at the time. The WWE is planning on giving him another chance at a medical evaluation in the next several weeks.
