790[[quoteright:255:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/epicoandprimo_7780.jpg]]
791!!! Primo/Diego (Edwin "Eddie" Carlos Colón) 2008-2020
792!!! Epico/Fernando (Orlando Colón) 2011-2020
793* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Inverted; Primo views his brother Carlito as annoying, but Carlito is actually ''older''.
794* ArtisticLicenseGeography: As Los Matadores, they were Puerto Ricans playing Mexican matadores.
795* {{Backstab}}ber: Their FinishingMove.
796* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: They were complaining about not getting enough TV time as Champs. The next match they had on TV was the one where they lost the belts.
797* BraidsOfAction: Epico, until his haircut.
798* {{Expy}}:
799** The Colons, obviously. They just switched out Carlito for Epico and added Rosa as a valet.
800** As Los Matadores, of Wrestling/TitoSantana's "El Matador" gimmick.
801* {{Cool Mask}}s: As Los Matadores.
802* ForeignWrestlingHeel: Averted. Even as heels, they're heels that happen to be Puerto Rican, not ''because'' they're Puerto Rican.
803* FourIsDeath: When the team of Epico, Primo, & Rosa originally formed, they shot straight to the top of the revived tag team division, winning the tag titles in short order. However, they later lost the titles, and once they were signed to AW's agency in an attempt to regain their mojo (making their stable number four members), things only went downhill from there.
804* LatinLover: Primo.
805* {{Mascot}}: El Torito.
806* MeaningfulName: Didn't make much sense when he was teaming with Carlito, but "Primo" is Spanish for "cousin", so in the way the name of their team reads: "Epico & Cousin." [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg Oh, and Rosa.]]
807* MythologyGag: Combined with ShoutOut; their names as Los Matadores, Diego and Fernando, happen to be the names of the sons of UsefulNotes/ChristopherColumbus, or as he's known in Spanish, ''Cristóbal '''Colón'''''.
808* NerdsAreSexy: Primo was once in a relationship with uber-nerd Wrestling/AJLee.
809* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Subverted. Won the Tag Team Championships at a live event, but the replay was shown on the following televised show, explaining what had happened.
810* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Epico & Primo won the titles when they did and the way they did (see OffscreenMomentOfAwesome above) because Wrestling/EvanBourne (who was one half of the champions along with Wrestling/KofiKingston) got suspended for a second Wellness Violation. Ironically, they would later lose the titles back to Kofi, who found a new partner in [[Wrestling/RonKillings R-Truth]], who had just returned from a Wellness Vacation stemming from ''the exact same incident where Wrestling/EvanBourne got busted.''
811* SiblingTeam: Despite annoying him, teaming with his brother was a dream of Primo's and they were the first Unified Tag Team Champions.
812* SiblingTriangle: Primo and Carlito to [[Wrestling/BellaTwins Brie Bella]].
813* SpicyLatina: Ever since beginning to manage Epico & Primo, Rosa's been playing this up for all it's worth.
814* TwoGuysAndAGirl: With Wrestling/RosaMendes.
815* VillainTeamUp: Epico was with Hunico at first. He's now tagging with his cousin Primo.
816* WhatHappenedToTheMouse:
817** Epico and Primo lost their championships to Wrestling/KofiKingston and [[Wrestling/RonKillings R-Truth]]. In almost all cases where a competitor drops a title, they have a rematch clause. They're still yet to invoke it even several weeks later. This was later brought up at No Way Out; AW allowed their rematch clause to expire with him never telling them to use the clause, presumably on purpose, as later that night during a Four Way Match for the #1 contendership to the tag team titles he turned on Epico and Primo to side with the Primetime Players (Titus O'Neil and Darren Young).
818** Happened again as Los Matadores. In the fall of 2015, Diego and Fernando turned heel and beat down El Torito before getting put through tables by the Dudley Boyz. None of this was followed up on, as the duo disappeared from TV for months before resurfacing as their original Primo/Epico names, talking up the beauty of Puerto Rico in video packages.
819* WrestlingFamily: The two are RealLife cousins from one of the well known Puerto Rican wrestling families - also add Carlos, Jr. (Primo's brother, known as Carlito in the WWE), Carlos Sr. (Carlito and Primo's father, who all three proceeded to induct into the Hall of Fame) as well.

888* NewJobAsThePlotDemands: In an environment where a complete repackaging while on the main roster isn't as common anymore, Omos stands out as having had three separate gimmicks within a year. Originally, he was a giant {{Ninja}} in the employ of Akira Tozawa. Then he was a bouncer for the short-lived ''RAW Underground''.

918* AbortedArc: They were reportedly supposed to reunite with Wrestling/PaulEllering, until the COVID pandemic and Rezar’s bicep injury delayed it and their subsequent release later made it impossible.
919* AmbiguouslyBrown: Akam is ethnically Punjabi Indian, and Rezar is from Albania. Somewhat surprisingly for WWE, which likes to play the ForeignWrestlingHeel thing to the hilt, this doesn't factor into their gimmick at all (aside from occasionally cutting promos in their native languages).
920* CoDragons: To Wrestling/SethRollins as of December 2019 and Wrestling/KarrionKross as of [=SmackDown=] New Year's Revolution 2024.
921* EstablishingCharacterMoment:
922** They came out after Wrestling/AmericanAlpha lost the NXT tag titles back to The Revival and utterly destroyed the ex-champions before being called to the back by legendary manager Wrestling/PaulEllering.
923** Their return in 2024 is punctuated with them swiftly taking out the Street Profits and allying with Karrion Kross.
924* FinishingMove: Two of them:
925** "The Last Chapter" is a Russian Legsweep and Lariat combination.
926** "Super Collider" is stereo powerbombs after knocking their opponents together.
927* LightningBruiser: Two absolute beasts whose tandem offense is surprisingly fast and appropriately painful.
928* ThemeNaming: The philosophical principle of ''OccamsRazor'' goes that among competing hypotheses, select the simplest one with the least assumptions. What Akam and Rezar are here to do needs no assumptions made.
929* WrestlingMonster: They are almost completely unstoppable in the ring. Sometimes one of them does not even bother tagging into the match, allowing the other to destroy both their opponents by themselves.

1092* TheBigGuy: Wrestling/{{Rhyno}}
1093* DumbassHasAPoint: After losing their rematch for the tag team titles on the 12/6/16 edition of Smackdown Live, Rhyno pointed out how he'd always do the brunt of the work with Heath taking the win (which Heath pointed out, in a meta sense, that it was kinda the whole point of their team) and that Heath's heart hadn't really been in it for their rematch; Heath retorted that, as long as they were "keeping score", Rhyno ''lost'' the titles for them at TLC, which Rhyno responded to by walking off without a word.

On the main roster, Tucker has started bouncing up and landing on the guy ''again'' while Otis rolls aside.

1108* {{Acrofatic}}: Otis is a ''lot'' more nimble than he looks.
1109* BerserkButton: '''''NEVER''''' mock his girlfriend [[Wrestling/MandyRose Mandy]], otheriwse you're gonna get it.
1110* BigFun: Otis is the loud, hilarious, quote-worthy part of Heavy Machinery who adds hilarious theatrics to his moves.
1111* BoisterousBruiser: He lives for three things: steaks and weights, and fighting.
1112* CatchPhrase: "OH YEAH!"
1113* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He might not be all there, as during a meeting with William Regal during the investigation into who assaulted Wrestling/AleisterBlack, Otis was convinced they were actually being questioned about the toilet he destroyed at the training center.
1114* FaceHeelTurn: On the February 19th episode of [=SmackDown=], Otis attacked Wrestling/ReyMysterio at the orders of [[Wrestling/AmericanAlpha Chad Gable]] after their tag team match thus turning heel first time in WWE.
1115* FatBastard: After his FaceHeelTurn.

1117* LargeHam: While Tucker can also be quite energetic, Otis is larger than life in every possible way.
1118* OneSceneWonder: In under 2 minutes, Otis and his LargeHam tendencies completely took over a Youtube segment based around the Gargano/Ciampa feud.
1119* StoutStrength: He is fairly short for a wrestler and quite large, having one of the widest frames on the roster. The commentators note that his low center of gravity and strength make him near impossible to knock over, even for the Authors of Pain.
1120

1161!! Imperium
1162!!!As a Team
1163* AlternateCompanyEquivalent:
1164** NXT UK's answer to the American NXT's The Undisputed Era.
1165** Also seems to be the WWE's equivalent to wXw's Ringkampf, and even features some overlap between the members (WALTER and Marcel Barthel were part of both stables.) Them using "The mat is sacred" as a motto (a translation of Ringkampf's famous motto "Die Matte ist heilig") makes it clear that it's basically supposed to be Ringkampf under a different name.
1166* ArcWords: The stable imported Ringkampf's [[SeriousBusiness "The ring/mat is sacred."]]
1167* ArchEnemy: Have basically been feuding against Wrestling/BritishStrongStyle since their formation. Walter has defended his NXT UK title against all three members. They later moved onto feuding with Gallus in late 2019 through early 2020, culminating in WALTER vs. Joe Coffey at Blackpool II (WALTER retained). The Brawling Brutes in main roster.
1168* ForeignWrestlingHeel: It's fairly obvious WWE was going for this by throwing the Italian-born Aichner into a TagTeam with the German Barthel and sticking them both on the NXT UK brand and having the announce team keep calling them the "European Union" [[note]]Keep in mind the [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarTwo particular history the UK has with Italy and Germany]]... not to mention Brexit[[/note]]. That said, it was being handled slightly more subtly than most instances of this trope, especially after they united with WALTER to form Imperium.
1169* FourIsDeath: After Alexander Wolfe shockingly aligned with them. This sets them apart from other stables in NXT UK (and there are a couple of them), which are of the three-man variety.
1170* MeaningfulName: The stable's name, "Imperium", means "empire" in German, which make sense, as every member of it comes from the territory previously occupied by the UsefulNotes/HolyRomanEmpire.
1171* MultinationalTeam: Of non-UK Europeans; WALTER/Gunther from Austria, Germans Barthel/Kaiser and Wolfe, and the Italian Aichner/Vinci.
1172* MythologyGag: Those well-versed in the pre-WWE careers of the wrestlers in question might remember that British Strong Style and Imperium's previous 'incarnation', Ringkampf, had a longstanding stable rivalry before everyone came over to NXT UK.
1173* PuttingTheBandBackTogether: Aichner walked away from Barthel during a tag team match and initially did not join them on the main roster, instead indulging in a high class lifestyle as he was rechristened Giovanni Vinci. Kaiser remained at Gunther's side, but they seemingly discontinued the Imperium name. Months later, Vinci rejoined Kaiser and Gunther, finally announced as the leader of Imperium, to even the odds and ensure that The Brawling Brutes would not give Sheamus an unfair advantage against Gunther in their absolute physical war for the Intercontinental Championship at ''Clash at the Castle''.
1174* ReverseArmFold: Their signature pose.
1175* VillainTeamUp: First Barthel and Aichner formed the TagTeam, then they united with WALTER (reunited in Barthel's case) to form Imperium.
1176
1177!!! [[Wrestling/{{WALTER}} Walter/Gunther]] (Walter Hahn)
1178
1179!!! Marcel Barthel/Ludwig Kaiser
1180* ButtMonkey: Poor Ludwig has received a lot of humiliation following his main roster debut. He has been kicked in the jaw by Ricochet, squashed two separate times by Nakamura, been chopped multiple times by GUNTHER as punishment for his failure to beat Nakamura and got his fingers broken during a match with Butch.
1181* CatchPhrase: "NEIN!" [[note]]([[BilingualBonus German for "no."]])[[/note]]
1182* CurbStompCushion: While he's utterly outclassed in his matches with Shinsuke Nakamura, he manages to get in a few of his own moves. Of course, this doesn't stop [[BadBoss GUNTHER]] from berating and chopping him.
1183* HammyHerald: Ludwig Kaiser became this for the group, particularly GUNTHER, on the main roster, taking full advantage of having the highest voice in this stable.
1184* NonIndicativeName: His real name can be easily mistaken for French. It's not the reason for his main roster rename in and of itself, but clearly WWE were purposeful in choosing a far more distinctly German name.
1185* WrestlingFamily: He the son of Axel Dieter.
1186
1187!!! Fabian Aichner/Giovanni Vinci
1188[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fabian_aichner.png]]
1189* BadassInANiceSuit: As Giovanni Vinci in NXT 2.0, he's wearing a suit while not in a match. He's not wearing a suit since move to main roster after reunited with Imperium.
1190* CatchPhrase: As Giovanni Vinci in NXT 2.0: "Veni, vidi, Vinci."
1191* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Initially appeared as a participant in the Cruiserweight Classic (where the upper weight limit was 205 pounds), losing to (Gentleman) Jack Gallagher in the first round. About a year later, he makes his first NXT TV appearance and is ''significantly'' larger (now billed at about 220). The bulk gain is even [[LampshadeHanging commented upon]] during his matches.
1192* LightningBruiser: Still has some cruiserweight-type moves in his repertoire, despite now weighing ''at least'' 220 pounds and hitting like it.
1193* RedBaron: Has taken to calling himself "The NXT LVL".

1214!! Legado del Fantasma[=/=]Latino World Order - 2022-
1215* ArchEnemy: Following Escobar's rebellion, the two factions became this to each other.
1216* TheCartel: Legado del Fantasma is effectively a wrestling cartel, with Escobar as the kingpin.
1217* HeelFaceTurn: The grouped collectively turned face upon Mysterio joining and rebranding them as the [=lWo=]. Then Escobar [[FaceHeelTurn turned heel again]] a few months later, rebuilding Legado del Fantasma with new members.
1218* RenegadeSplinterFaction: Following Santos Escobar's FaceHeelTurn, Cruz, Wilde, and Zelina chose to remain loyal to Rey Mysterio and the [=lWo=], prompting Escobar to recruit Angel and Humberto, and then later Elektra Lopez, to birth Legado del Fantasma anew.
1219!!! El Hijo del Fantasma/Santos Escobar (Jorge Luis Alcantar Bolly) 2022-
1220[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/santos_escobar_nxt.png]]
1221* BadassBoast: To go with the [[DramaticUnmask unmasking]] below:
1222--> "I am Santos Escobar, I am the NXT Cruiserweight Champion, and ''no one can touch me!''"
1223* CoolMask: Back when he was a MaskedLuchador, and occasionally during his entrances. He often weaponizes it with steel hidden inside.
1224* CulturalRebel: For all his talk about being the heir to the legacy of ''lucha libre'', he doesn't seem to have much respect for its traditions. Literally his first act upon his heel turn was to remove his mask of his own free will-- an act that would be viewed in actual ''lucha libre'' circles as dishonorable.
1225* TheDon: Plays with this trope with his suited henchmen, obsession with his dynasty, and brutal beatings and kidnappings giving off a cartel vibe. (Given that his ring name is meant to reference Medellin cartel leader Pablo Escobar, this is probably very intentional.) Given that he was responsible for the original disappearances of the two men that became his muscle later, it's implied that his organization is larger than even what is shown on screen, at the very least featuring a Wheelman and some other unnamed subordinates.
1226* DontSplitUsUp: After losing to Tony D'Angelo in a decisive match, he's forced to leave NXT, and his partners thought they wouldn't thrive with him. However, things changed and Santos told them to go with him, in which is likely to be Legado del Fantasma's NXT send-off scene.
1227* DramaticUnmask: Both him and two of the mysterious men in his employ, at his FaceHeelTurn, revealing himself as Santos Escobar.
1228* EarlyBirdCameo: First appeared as Jorge Bolly before the Cruiserweight Classic. Interestingly, his debut had him teaming with future Legado del Fantasma member Raul Mendoza.
1229* FaceHeelTurn:
1230** Fantasma joined forces with the masked men who appeared in the NXT Cruiserweight Championship tournament final, who revealed themselves as Raul Mendoza and Joaquin Wilde (two men who'd been "kidnapped" by several other masked henchmen) and attacked Wrestling/DrakeMaverick, then unmasked himself and revealed his "true name" to be Santos Escobar, turning heel in the process.
1231** On the 11/10/23 episode of ''[=SmackDown=]'', Escobar turned on the LWO after some snide remarks from Carlito, attacking him and then Mysterio after a match with Wrestling/BobbyLashley. The following week he attacked his former Legado del Fantasma teammates Cruz and Wilde when they refused to turn with him, cementing both his heel turn and his departure from the stable.
1232* HeelFaceTurn: Cemented when he and his fellow Legado partners called out Tony D'Angelo and the latter's henchmen. In the main roster, despite debuting as heels, he and his fellow Legado partners would show respect towards Rey Mysterio's sacred lucha libre family... effectively reforming the Latino World Order.
1233* MisplacedRetribution: He blames his former mentor Mysterio for him not winning the US Title, when the real reason was because Theory attacked and injured him before the match and Mysterio was a last-minute replacement by Adam Pearce. Mysterio did give several title opportunities to Escobar later, but he retained the first time, and when he tried a second time, other wrestlers complained about him being handed free title matches, so Mysterio was forced to back off. In reality, Mysterio should be the ''last'' person Escobar blames for his missed opportunity.
1234* RedBaron: He is the "Emperor of ''Lucha Libre''".
1235* SharpDressedMan: Seen often in suits when he's not wrestling-- particularly as Santos Escobar.
1236* [[SpellmynamewithaThe Spell My Name With An "El"]]: "El" Hijo del Fantasma.
1237* WrestlingFamily: He's the son of El Fantasma, nephew of Angel de la Muerte and cousin of Angel de la Muerte Jr or Fantasma Jr.

1241[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/raul_mendoza_nxt.png]]
1242* DistressedDude: In early March 2020 he was abducted in the NXT parking lot by a group of masked luchadores and was missing for a few months. It was eventually revealed that the whole thing was faked as part of Santos Escobar's new stable formation.
1243* FaceHeelTurn: His allegiance to Santos saw him turn from a likable underdog to a ruthless minion.
1244* HeelFaceTurn: He, along with the rest of Legado, turned face after calling out Tony D'Angelo's Family.
1245* FinishingMove: The 450 splash.
1246* {{Jobber}}: Typically, his appearances end with him looking at the lights. This situation improved for him with the formation of Legado del Fantasma and he began winning frequent tag matches alongside Joaquin Wilde.
1247* SharpDressedMan: Follows in Santos' style and dresses in flashy suits when not wrestling.

1251* DistressedDude: In April 2020, Joaquin was abducted in the NXT parking lot by a group of masked luchadores like Raul Mendoza had been a few weeks prior and was missing for a few months. They eventually turned up again as the other members of Santos Escobar's new stable, with the kidnapping having been staged.
1252* SharpDressedMan: Follows in Santos Escobar's style and dresses in flashy suits when not wrestling.

1349
1350* {{Catchphrase}}: We want the smoke.
1351* CoDragons: To Wrestling/BobbyLashley as a heel, switch to [[TheLancer The Lancers]] after their HeelFaceTurn.
1352* {{Expy}}: Can be considered one to Cryme Tyme, only without obvious criminal tendencies. They also share some traits with the original Wrestling/PrimeTimePlayers.
1353* GreekChorus: WWE often use them in backstage segments on [[Wrestling/WWERaw RAW]] to comment on the proceedings of the show.
1354* IconicItem: Red cups, as a reference to rappers who drink alcohol or lean from similar cups.
1355* LifeOfTheParty: They bring the party with them to the ring.
1356* RedOniBlueOni: Hyped-up Ford and chill Dawkins, respectively.
1357
1358!!! Angelo Dawkins (Gary Gordon) 2016-present
1359[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/angelo_dawkins_nxt.png]]
1360* BerserkButton: Messing with his headbands.
1361* CavalierCompetitor: Despite always jobbing, he calmly waits for the next opportunity. His WWE.com bio hints that he's more of a SpiritedCompetitor, but it's really not showing right now on NXT. This really irritated Sawyer Fulton while they were teaming.
1362* HiddenDepths: He's a former championship athlete in his college sports days. The way he calmly talks about waiting for another opportunity sounds similar to many a non-descript, sanitized post-game interview. Sawyer Fulton's growing fatigue with his sterile professionalism at all times eventually led to them breaking up.
1363* {{Hipster}}: Formerly. This was dropped in favor of an amateur wrestling gimmick when he started teaming with Sawyer Fulton.
1364* {{Jobber}}: Though he seems oddly cool about it. After teaming with Ford, he finally starts picking up victories as part of the Street Profits.
1365* RedBaron: Adopted "The Curse of Greatness" as his moniker after splitting from Sawyer Fulton.
1366
1367!!! Montez Ford (Kenneth Crawford) 2016-present
1368* CoolCrown: Seen wearing one sometimes.
1369* CoolShades: He wears them basically everywhere except during matches.
1370* FinishingMove: A frog splash, which he gets some extreme height on due to his athleticism.
1371* GenkiGuy: Apparently, he has unlimited energy, as he bounces around the arena to celebrate his victories.
1372* HappilyMarried: To Wrestling/BiancaBelair.
1373* InASingleBound: No, seriously, watch his frog splash or top rope dives. It's noted fairly often on commentary that Ford has one of the highest (if not the highest) vertical leaps on the NXT roster.
1374* LargeHam: Compared to the more laid-back Dawkins, Ford is constantly hype.
1375* RomanceOnTheSet: Married to Bianca Belair, whom he met while training in NXT.
1376
1377!! Titus Worldwide - 2016-2018

1393!! The Vaudevillains - 2013-2017
1394* DastardlyWhiplash: As a tag team, they sport some sinister-looking mustaches, and they're known as the Vaude''villains''.
1395
1396!!! Simon Gotch (Seth Lesser) 2013-2017
1397[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/simon_gotch.png]]
1398* AntiquatedLinguistics: Just look at his Twitter.
1399* ArchEnemy: The Lucha Dragons. Later on, BAMF.
1400* BornInTheWrongCentury
1401* CatchPhrase: "Quite manly", to the point that one has to wonder if he's a bit insecure.
1402* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Oh, boy.
1403* InformedAbility: He calls himself a strongman, although he's actually on the smaller-to-average side as far as wrestler size goes.
1404* NonIndicativeName: His tag team is called the Vaude''villains'', but so far they haven't really done anything heelish (excepting English kicking the shit out of Big Cass because he's a sore loser). Although Gotch does sport the stereotypical mustache of a vaudeville villain.
1405* ShoutOut: His ring name was chosen in tribute to old-school wrestler Frank Gotch (1877-1917).
1406* WrestlingDoesntPay: He's a wrestling strongman.
1407
1408!!! Aiden English (Matt Rehwoldt) 2012-2020
1409[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aiden_english.png]]
1410* ArchEnemy: The Lucha Dragons.
1411** Tye Dillinger after becoming singles competition.
1412* AwesomeAnachronisticApparel: With his moustache and his plain brown tights with built-in muscle belt, he looks like an old-fashioned vaudeville strongman. In June 2014, humorously and appropriately enough, he ended up tag-teaming with Simon Gotch, a vaudeville strongman wrestler, and their promos and entrance are done in the style of old black and white films. To top it all off, their tag team is called the Vaudevillains.
1413* BadassFamily: English married into one. He's married to Shaul Guerrero, which makes him the son-in-law to Wrestling/EddieGuerrero.
1414* BerserkButton: He did ''not'' take losing the sing-off to [[Wrestling/EnzoAndCass Cassidy]] well.
1415* EvilLaugh
1416* HeroicSacrifice: In the Vaudevillains/Lucha Dragons match at Takeover 3, English pushed Gotch out of the way when the Lucha Dragons did a double suicide dive. It looked like a SenselessSacrifice at first because Gotch got pinned within minutes, but it turned out to be a smart move because Gotch wasn't the legal man, a fact that the Vaudevillains successfully used to get a rematch.
1417* PutOnABus:
1418** The Vaudevillains disappeared from the tag team scene for several months, and then returned after Unstoppable.
1419** The team was broken up in 2017 when Gotch got released by WWE, with English going back to singles competition.
1420** After breaking from his team with Rusev, he disappeared for a while before becoming part of the ''205 Live'' commentary team.
1421* RedBaron: "The Artiste" and "The Drama King".
1422* SoreLoser: Boy howdy.
1423* WrestlingDoesntPay: He's a stage actor/singer turned wrestler.
1424* WrestlingFamily: Believe it or not, to the Guerrero Family, as he's married to Wrestling/EddieGuerrero's daughter, Shaul.
1425
1426!! War Raiders/The Viking Raiders - 2018-present
1427* AntiHero: They're violent, bloodthirsty berserkers either way, but as faces they temper this by standing up for other faces, primarily targeting heels and showing genuine respect to other face teams who give them a genuine challenge.
1428* ArchEnemy:
1429** Wrestling/TheUndisputedEra in NXT, whom they chased after for the Tag Team belts on that brand.
1430** [[Wrestling/BulletClub The OC]] on RAW. Gallows and Anderson are the tag team who have given them the most trouble since they moved to the main roster.
1431** Wrestling/AJStyles and Omos after becoming number one contender for the Raw Tag Team Champions.
1432** Wrestling/TheNewDay in early 2022 after their FaceHeelTurn.
1433* BarbarianHero: The pro wrestling equivalent.
1434* BeardOfBarbarism: Both of them have long, bushy beards.
1435* CatchPhrase: Chanting "War! War! War! War!" as part of their entrance, which supportive crowds imitate as well. Upon moving up to RAW, they adapted "It's time to join the raid!" as well.
1436* FinishingMove: The Viking Experience (aka the War Machine Combo Slam, aka Thor's Hammer), a double-team powerslam.
1437* GrievousHarmWithABody: They're more than happy to use each other as weapons, with one dropping the other onto a prone opponent as a borderline SignatureMove.
1438* HeelFaceTurn: On the September 9th episode of Wrestling/WWERaw, in Madison Square Garden they turned face after saving Cedric Alexander from The OC.
1439* HornyVikings: The entire point of their gimmick is to imitate the dress style and mindset of Viking marauders.
1440* IHaveManyNames: They've gone by War Machine, War Raiders, The Viking Experience, and The Viking Raiders.
1441* NoChallengeEqualsNoSatisfaction: Coming up to the main roster limited their ability to fight other upper/mid-carders, since they spent most of their time squashing jobbers. Eventually they had enough and complained they'd come for challengers but found only victims. Their solution was to issue an open challenge for their championship belts, which the Street Profits answered.
1442* RomanceOnTheSet: Erik and Valhalla have been married since 2018. Their marriage was a Viking wedding ceremony, to fit with the Viking Raiders' gimmick.
1443* SuddenSequelHeelSyndrome: While the two were faces at [=NXT=], they suddenly turned heel after ''[=WrestleMania=] 35'' when they started making appearances on the main roster. When this didn't work out, they were eventually turned face again.
1444* ThisMeansWarPaint: When they are especially angry they paint their faces before matches. This is a nod to the ancient Celtic tribes but has a side effect of making them look like [[Wrestling/TheRoadWarriors The Legion of Doom]] to those unfamiliar with their gimmick.
1445* TwoGuysAndAGirl: Sarah Logan/Valhalla make her returns to WWE joined The Viking Raiders in 2022.
1446* WalkingShirtlessScene: Their ring gear always leaves their chests and torsos bare. Hanson/Ivar invokes the Celtic tribes with gear reminiscent of a kilt.
1447
1448!!! Hanson/Ivar (Todd Smith) 2018-present
1449* {{Acrofatic}}: A guy his size should not be able to move like a lucha libre wrestler, but he does anyway!
1450* BigBeautifulMan
1451* BigEater
1452* CarpetOfVirility: Not to the level of Killian Dain, but his chest hair is still very noticeable.
1453* VocalDissonance: Ivar sounds 10 years younger for a 30-something, and his voice is also higher in pitch.
1454!!! Rowe/Erik (Raymond Rowe) 2018-present
1455* HappilyMarried: To fellow wrestler Sarah Logan, formerly of Wrestling/TheRiottSquad. Shortly after, she adopted a HornyVikings gimmick of her own.
1456* VocalDissonance: Erik sounds 10 years younger for a 30-something.

1467!! Diamond Mine - 2023-present
1468
1469!!!As a Team
1470* TheArtifact: The stable's name seems to be a reference to how the stable's manager Malcolm Bivens called Tyler Rust a "diamond in the rust". Rust was released mere weeks after the group debuted, followed by Bivens several months later.
1471* LovableJock: The trio incarnation of the group is this, being babyfaces that train like beasts and take pride in their freakish athleticism.
1472* StartMyOwn: After the dissolving of Wrestling/TheUndisputedEra, Strong has decided to create his own stable with him as the leader.
1473* TwoGuysAndAGirl: After various releases and departures, the group most people have become familiar with consists of the Creed Brothers and Ivy Nile.
1474[[hardline]]
1475
1476!!! Julius Creed (Jacob Kasper)
1477* BigBrotherInstinct: When Damon Kemp stabbed them in the back and targeted Brutus for a beatdown, Julius took an Ambulance match challenge and absolutely ''destroyed'' Kemp in the win.
1478* MasterOfAll: An All-American college amateur standout - he can grapple with the best, bust out standing shooting star presses and dives like a cruiserweight, and is strong enough to carry multiple men or a single super-heavyweight without much trouble.
1479* SiblingTeam: With his brother Brutus.
1480
1481
1482!!! Brutus Creed (Drew Kasper)
1483* AbortedArc: In the NCAA, he at one point boasted a perfect 30-0 record and was ranked as the #1 amateur collegiate wrestler in the United States. Unfortunately for him, this was [[UsefulNotes/Covid19Pandemic 2020, so the scheduled NCAA Championship tournament never took place.]]
1484* LightningBruiser: Is way more agile than a guy that's a good meal or two from 300 pounds should be.
1485* SiblingTeam: With his brother Julius.
1486* SignatureMove[=/=]DeathFromAbove: The "Brutus Ball", where he curls his 280-ish pound form and hurls himself off the top rope at one or more opponents, usually on the floor. Later adapted into a FinishingMove with Julius lifting an opponent onto his shoulders.
1487
1488

1496!! DIY - 2023-present
1497
1498!!! As a team
1499* ArchEnemy:
1500** The Revival and the Authors of Pain in NXT.
1501** Imperium and Wrestling/TheJudgmentDay on the main roster.
1502* CharacterCatchphrase: This is our moment.
1503* FightingYourFriend: Drawn against one another in the first round of the Cruiserweight Classic, whilst in the midst of their initial run as a team in NXT.
1504* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Ciampa and Gargano started in NXT as faces, then Ciampa turned heel at Johnny's expense. Then Johnny's obsession with defeating Ciampa would wind up turning him heel, before he turned face again by turning on Ciampa, who was subsequently turned face after a real life neck injury. They then reunited as faces, before Gargano turned heel by betraying Ciampa. When they reunited on the main roster in 2023, they were both faces once again.
1505* MeaningfulName: "DIY" reflects the fact that neither Ciampa or Gargano were supposed to be signed to WWE; they were brought in as extra bodies during the initial Dusty Classic, but their matches were so well received that WWE kept bringing them back before outright signing them to full time deals.
1506* PuttingTheBandBackTogether:
1507** In early 2019, Gargano orchestrated a brief reunion with Ciampa, intent on betraying Ciampa in the same manner he had done so previously.
1508** In early 2020, the two reunited on a seemingly more permanent basis, before Gargano betrayed Ciampa and restarted their feud.
1509** Briefly reunited in 2021 as part of Team Black and Gold.
1510** In late 2023, Gargano and Ciampa reunited as DIY on a permanent basis, now on the main roster.
1511* RedBaron: "The heart and soul of NXT" in their brief 2020 run.
1512* SignatureMove: "Meet Me in the Middle" in which an opponent is positioned in the center of the ring with Ciampa and Gargano positioned at opposite corners, before Ciampa delivers a running knee as Gargano delivers a super kick of his own, sandwiching the kneeling opponent's head in the middle.
1513* SpellMyNameWithAThe: Stylised their name as "#DIY" in NXT.
1514* WorthyOpponent: Moustache Mountain, as evidenced by their match at ''Worlds Collide'' in 2020.

1536* EarlyBirdCameo: Sanga and Veer originally debuted together as a team managed by Malcolm Bivens under their real names towards the tail end of the Black & Gold era of NXT, with Bivens being the one to introduce the Indus Sher team name. Then Veer was called up to bodyguard Jinder with a different larger Indian beside him.
1537* NobleDemon: Between their Indian roots and Sanga's brief babyface stint, their characters are informed by a form of VillainRespect for formidable rivals...which does nothing to stop them from assaulting said rivals unprovoked because Veer and especially Jinder do not subscribe to the notion that HonorIsFairPlay.

1541!!! Sanga (Saurav Gurjar) 2023-present
1542* BodyguardingABadass: Was repackaged as Grayson Waller's bodyguard in his re-debut.
1543* CarpetOfVirility: Has a very hairy chest.
1544* GentleGiant: Became this when he quietly separated from Waller and had a subtle HeelFaceTurn. Veer came back and slowly drummed the "gentle" part out of him to reunite the team.
1545* TheGiant: Billed at 6ft 8.
1546
1547!!! Veer Mahaan (Rinku Singh Rajput) 2020-present
1548* BeardOfEvil: Has a big, bushy and unkempt beard which perfectly fits his Wrestling Monster persona.
1549* BodyguardingABadass: Veer, along with Shanky, was this for Jinder on the main roster from 2020 to 2021.
1550* {{Expy}}: Of Braun Strowman. Both were big guys that were separated from their stable and became feared singles competitors who constantly squashed local competitors in order to establish themselves as credible threats.
1551* FromNobodyToNightmare: From random jobber to bloodthirsty WrestlingMonster.
1552* WrestlingMonster

1556!!!As a Team
1557* ActionFashionista: Wrestling models with pompous British wit and understated ruthlessness.
1558* AgentPeacock: As their tag team name implies, they're a pair of vain pretty boys very fixated on aesthetics and appearance. They're also multiple-time tag champions across NXT, so underestimate them at your own peril.
1559* CatchPhrase: "Yes, boy!" and, as champions: "Sideplate check!" (cue camera zooming in on customized title belt sideplates)
1560* ContinuityNod: Were written off NXT by apparently having the D'Angelo Family ''murder'' them via locking them in [[PunkInTheTrunk a car trunk]] and pushing said car into a river. The day of their call-up to the main roster the following week, the both of them tweeted footage of the two of them having survived and washed up on shore.
1561* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Both of them have long, luscious locks (Lewis/Elton blond, Sam/Kit brunet).
1562* SharpDressedMan: As their gimmick is that of two rather vain male models, this is a given. Their ring gear mostly consists of tight leather jeans, and if they're not wrestling, they're usually in floral shirts and even tighter denim jeans.

On the August 4 episode of [=SmackDown=], Lashley appeared to celebrate The Street Profits beating down [[Wrestling/DrewHankinson Luke Gallows]] and Wrestling/KarlAnderson and The Brawling Brutes' [[Wrestling/BritishStrongStyle Butch]] and Ridge Holland, turning heel once again.
