#5 Former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Angel Garza
Angel Garza's WWE career has certainly seen its fair share of ups and downs so far. The former NXT Cruiserweight Champion made his debut on Monday Night RAW in early 2020 as the newest client of Zelina Vega.
After feuding with his cousin Humberto Carrillo, Garza was quickly placed into a faction with Vega's other clients Andrade and later Austin Theory. However, the faction eventually split with Theory being sent back to WWE NXT and Andrade and Vega being released by WWE.
Since then, Angel Garza hasn't been doing much on the red brand. Garza had a brief 24/7 Championship reign late last year, but he has mostly appeared on Main Event.
Many within the WWE Universe see WrestleMania as a big "reset" for WWE creative and storylines, and there is no question about the charisma and talent that Angel Garza possesses.
A United States Championship reign could be exactly what Garza needs to once again find momentum and make his way back up the card on WWE television.
