WWE officially changes current tag team's ring names
Since taking over as WWE's head of creative last July, Triple H has altered many superstars' ring names. Two performers who have seemingly reverted to their old monikers are Humberto Carrillo and Angel Garza.
A creative trope commonly used by the Vince McMahon-led management was removing a superstar's first or last name, much to the confusion of many fans. In recent years, the Los Lotharios duo has been simply known as Humberto and Angel.
Some eagle-eyed viewers recently noticed that both stars' ring names were changed back to their original monikers on WWE's official roster page.

Former WWE manager praises Humberto Carrillo and Angel Garza
Humberto Carrillo and Angel Garza are yet to make a huge impact on the company's main roster. However, they both still have youth on their side to eventually make it to the top.
On an episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk, former WWE manager Dutch Mantell (fka Zeb Colter) spoke about the wrestlers' struggles, citing Sonya Deville as an example.
"These guys are good. Most of your Mexican wrestlers are great because that's why they train them. They can do almost anything, so I hated to see them lose too, but it’s probably the way to go. Losing doesn't mean anything on RAW or anywhere else, look at the Vega girl (…) No, who was the one to lose to Charlotte Flair? [Oh, Sonya Deville]. How many matches did she lose in a row? And I don't think it hurt her at all. That's what they tell the guys in the back, 'Don't worry, your time is coming,' and then her time is here." (37:10 - 38:06)
