After earning the respect of the WWE Universe last week, Humberto Carrillo must again prove himself against United States Champion AJ Styles.

It’s a good time to be Humberto Carrillo, at least to a point. Sure, the former 205 Live stalwart hasn’t won a match on Raw, technically, but he’s gone the distance with Universal Champion Seth Rollins and, tonight, United States Champion AJ Styles. And even if you don’t think hanging with those two is a victory in and of itself, consider that Carrillo has been on Raw two weeks, and he’s already got two friends, The Street Profits.

Yes, Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins are paying it forward following Kevin Owens’ assist against The O.C. last week, coming to Humberto’s aid after the good brothers jumped him at the end of a very long, very impressive effort against The Phenomenal One that narrowly ended in defeat after Styles kicked out of Carrillo’s Aztec Press and eventually applied the Calf Crusher for the submission win. Styles planted Carrillo with a Styles Clash after rescinding his post-match handshake, but Ford & Dawkins emphatically rescued Carrillo from a Magic Killer, sending The O.C. from the ring with the message that there’s still plenty of smoke to go around, should they want it.
