Ever since making an impressive WWE 205 Live debut against WWE Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy, Humberto Carrillo has proven to be a top competitor in the Cruiserweight division. He’s also attracted the attention of Drew Gulak and Gentleman Jack Gallagher, who believe they can mentor Carrillo and mold him to their vision of a technically-sound Superstar. Carrillo has been open to Gulak and Gallagher and has forged an alliance, one that met a significant test against The Lucha House Party.
Carrillo started the contest against Gran Metalik and displayed his impressive agility against the masked veteran. The two battled to a stalemate with their incredible athleticism until Gulak had enough and tagged himself in, annoyed that Carrillo was not focusing on his technical abilities. With his focus elsewhere, The Philadelphia Stretcher – and Gallagher – found themselves thrown from the ring, only to be saved by Carrillo.
With momentum in their favor, The Lucha House Party relied on teamwork and a breakneck pace to maintain an advantage against Gulak. In order to turn the tide, Gallagher pulled the ring apron out from under Lince Dorado, allowing Gulak to strike. After employing questionable tactics, Gallagher brought the contest to the ground, showing Carrillo how he and Gulak operate.
Gulak and Gallagher continued to mentor Carrillo at Gran Metalik’s expense. However, as Gulak attacked Lince Dorado and Kalisto while continuing to dish out punishment to The King of the Ropes, Carrillo didn’t seem fully impressed with the tactics. Finding the opportunity for a reprieve, Metalik took down Gulak and Gallagher and tagged in Kalisto, who made quick work of Carrillo before all three members of The Lucha House Party took down Gulak and Gallagher with a jaw-dropping triple dive to the outside.
The former WWE Cruiserweight Champion ascended the ropes, ready to drop in on Carrillo before being countered. Following a struggle on the top rope, a flurry of action resulted in all six Superstars being laid out and struggling to recover. Carrillo and Kalisto were still the legal competitors, and Carrillo saw the opportunity to execute a high-flying maneuver on Kalisto.
As the Mexican Superstar ascended the ropes, however, Gulak interjected, telling Carrillo to come down. With Carrillo and Gulak arguing, Kalisto seized the opportunity to execute the Salida del Sol while simultaneously kicking Gulak off the ring apron before pinning Carrillo for the victory.
