5 Current WWE stars you didn't know were third-generation wrestlers

#3. Humberto Carrillo

Humberto Carrillo has made quite a splash on WWE TV over the past few months since his feud with Andrade has now led to Angel Garza being promoted to the main roster. Carrillo performed on 205 Live before he was moved to Monday Night RAW as part of the WWE Draft back in October and he's recently been able to show why WWE are so hot on the third-generation star.

Carrillo only made his debut in the business back in 2012 but after wrestling as Último Ninja in Mexico at promotions including Nueva Generacion Xtrema, Lucha Libre Del Norte, Lucha Libre Azteca, The Crash Lucha Libre, Empresa Regiomontana de Lucha Libre, RIOT Wrestling Alliance, for more than six-year he was signed by WWE.

Carrillo's father Humberto Garza Jr. was also a wrestler in Mexico, whilst his grandfather Humberto Garza is at the top of the wrestling family tree. Carrillo's family tree means that he's related to the likes of Mario Segura, Máscara Púrpura, El Ninja Jr El Sultán, and fellow WWE star Angel Garza.
