WWE Crown Jewel 2019: 5 things we secretly learned

#4 Humberto Carrillo is the next big thing

WWE Creatives can't get enough of this high-flying star

WWE have shown immense trust in Humberto Carrillo ever since he made his main roster debut. First, he got the opportunity to square off against Seth Rollins on Monday Night RAW and his performance was appreciated by the WWE Universe.

Next, he went on to fight against AJ Styles and extended that feud to Crown Jewel. He won the 20-men Battle Royal after eliminating Luke Harper and Erick Rowan simultaneously. Following that, he went on to face Styles for the United States Championship.

Despite failing in his attempt to capture the US Title, Carrillo left his mark with his performance last night. He may continue his feud with Styles and might soon find himself challenging the ‘Phenomenal One’ for the United States Championship once again.

Carrillo’s run in the last couple of weeks speaks volumes about the confidence that the creatives have vested in him. He is likely to find himself involved in major feuds in the upcoming weeks. It wouldn’t be surprising to see Carrillo represent the Red brand at the Survivor Series later this month.
