8 Wrestlers who are now free agents that WWE may sign

#3 King Cuerno (El Hijo Del Fantasma)

The former King Cuerno has experience with Ricochet, as the two fought each other in Lucha Underground.

One of the most ready-for-WWE superstars who gained release from LU is King Cuerno/El Hijo Del Fantasma.

He's a bigger luchador than say, Andrade, but can still pull of the high-flying moves and stiff strikes when needed.

If you haven't seen his 'Arrow From the Depths of Hell', just look at it below:

He has been on their radar before, apparently as they offered him a spot in the Cruiserweight Classic a couple of years ago.

Whether it's as King Cuerno, Fantasma or someone completely new, he has a diverse and explosive move set that would fit in greatly with a lot of the performers currently in WWE (Ricochet, Aleister Black, Shinsuke Nakamura, Daniel Bryan, Rey Mysterio).

Like Texano Jr. and several others from AAA he had a brief run in Impact and even challenged for the X Division Championship. It might be a matter of when and not if regarding the Cuerno and WWE.
