WWE NXT Trainee Appears As Hair Stylist On TV, Lilian Garcia Talks Band's Las Vegas Residency
- Lilian Garcia discussed her band's recent Las Vegas residency in an interview published today on WWE.com.
In response to whether it was difficult for her to juggle her WWE responsibilities while fronting the band, she said, "It was tough to do Vegas on the weekend and then SmackDown, but you don't think about it when you're doing something you're very passionate about. I am very, very lucky in my life. I love music, I love hosting and doing the announcing for WWE. It's been a blessing. When you do that, it's amazing how much energy you can find. I was on fumes and still going."
Garcia also revealed that WWE may be involved with her band.
"You're either on the road performing or you're in the studio recording. So it's in the recording process now, and we're trying to get dates and set everything up for either a residency or another little mini-tour of some kind. I think we're going to be doing some stuff [with WWE], but I can't really give a lot of details," said Garcia.
- In anticipation of his Hair vs. Hair Match against Sylvester Lefort at NXT Takedown, a vignette aired last week on WWE NXT of Enzo Amore and Big Cass at a hair salon?it was replayed on NXT Takedown. In the segment, the two and Carmella (portraying a friend of their's who works at the salon) were encountered by a man portraying a hair stylist and sporting a pink polo shirt. He announced to them that he was getting an eyebrow wax in another room before calling Amore and Cass "neanderthals" for knowing nothing about that. The man in question is a contracted developmental wrestler known as Kamel.
He previously appeared in this video of WWE and NXT Superstars discussing the 2014 World Cup, where he is identified as Kamal. He has appeared as a security guard on television and at live events. He has yet to debut at events as a wrestler.
Kamel, real name Kamel Dickinson, arrived to the WWE Performance Center in May. His journey to WWE was profiled in The Royal Gazette, Bermuda's only daily newspaper, which says he is the first Bermudian to sign with the sports-entertainment organization. He is a product of Ohio Valley Wrestling, and once competed for Ring of Honor in a match that ended badly.
"My opponent rock bottomed me and I basically landed on the back of my head with all 200lbs of him on top," he said. "I had blood coming out of my nose and my vision went dark. The match was only about two minutes and I was concussed for about a week."
