Real Name: Luiz Martinez

Height and Weight: 6'6" 251 lbs

Years in the business: 4 years (rookie.)

Punishment Martinez grew up in Dorado, Puerto Rico, giving him automatic American citizenship. He studied under his martial artist father, training in the Goju-Ryu school of karate, and even won two full-contact championships in that sport.

He made the transition to pro wrestling easily and was scooped up right out of training at the Monster Factory by Ring of Honor. He spent several years with that promotion, winning the ROH Television title quickly in his career. Martinez joined the WWE in 2018 and has been sporadically seen on NXT.

Why he deserves a push: Punishment Martinez reminds many people of Undertaker; A big man who has uncanny agility and an intimidating presence which belies his short term as a wrestler.

We could definitely see Punishment Martinez having a great reign as either NXT North American champion or carrying Goldie as NXT champion.
