An unmasked Fuego Del Sol faced Erick Rowan on an episode of WWE RAW in January 2020. This was while Rowan was still doing his cage gimmick and Fuego, was clearly terrified of it. Rowan, when he finally got his hands on Fuego, won the match pretty quickly. Post-match, he drove Fuego's face into the cage at ringside. A terrified Fuego then ran backstage.

Fuego went on to become a regular on AEW Dark before earning himself a contract, becoming All Elite on the debut of Rampage.

Ricky Starks made a number of appearances as an extra or enhancement talent for WWE in 2012 and 2013. In 2013, Starks faced his stiffest challenge in WWE, a singles match against the 'Big Red Machine' Kane on WWE Main Event.

Kane made short work of Starks, dominating the match against the future AEW star. The Big Red Machine then hit Starks with a chokeslam to pick up the win.

After impressing in an open challenge against Cody Rhodes on AEW Dynamite in 2020, Starks was quickly signed to a contract. He's now a member of Team Taz and the FTW Champion.
