WWE has moved to trademark the name Dante Rios.\u00a0 This is the name that indie star Daniel Garcia used in a recent appearance on NXT as an enhancement talent.\u00a0 WWE’s filing of the trademark for the name suggests that Daniel Garcia is WWE bound.<\/p>\n
Known around the indies as one of the “Buffalo Brothers<\/a>” Garcia started to gain recognition for his work with\u00a0SMASH Wrestling\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Empire State Wrestling<\/strong> (ESW)in 2018, he also took part in a match on 205 Live where he was soundly beaten by Drew Gulak<\/strong>.\u00a0 His momentum was shot early in 2019 when he and fellow Buffalo Brothers Puf, Kevin Bennett<\/strong>, and Kevin Blackwood<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>were involved in a car accident that left Garcia and Blackwood on the shelf for a number of months.\u00a0 Garcia picked up where he left off with ESW and began appearing regularly in\u00a0Beyond Wrestling<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Garcia, like many, saw the COVID-19 pandemic put a stop to his plans as he didn’t get to wrestle nearly as much in 2020 as in previous years.\u00a0 He did however get the chance to wrestle for\u00a0All Elite Wrestling<\/strong>, twice he appeared and lost on AEW Dark alongside Blackwood.\u00a0 If Garcia is departing for WWE then the 22-year-old is sure to have a bright future and leaves the indies as a former ESW Heavyweight Champion and C4 Champion, two titles he holds to this day.<\/p>\n Stay tuned to the\u00a0Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
