The LWO duo of Joaquin Wilde and Cruz Del Toro faced the formidable team of Angel and Humberto during the latest episode of WWE SmackDown.

The duo has been in a heated rivalry with LWO since returning to the main roster a few weeks ago, aligning with Santos Escobar. This week's bout allowed both teams to finally lay hands on each other.

The match started with a high-intensity exchange featuring a back-and-forth showcase of the diverse movements of all four men. In a notable moment, Carrillo delivered a modified Liger Bomb on Wilde, but it was not enough to put the LWO away.

As the bout reached its climax and all four participants were down, Carlito made a surprise entrance through the crowd. He targeted Santos Escobar, who was on commentary.

The two engaged in a brawl in the crowd, creating chaos. Meanwhile, taking advantage of the distraction, Garza rolled up Wilde, securing the victory with his hands on the rope—something that went unnoticed by the referee.

This was Garza and Carrillo's first main roster victory in nearly 600 days. Their last match dates back to defeating Jinder Mahal and Shanky on WWE SmackDown on May 27, 2022 (595 days ago). The unfolding dynamics between the two factions in the upcoming weeks will be intriguing.
