On the December 15 episode of Superstars, Marlow came to the ring as the new bodyguard of Hunico.[1][3] The following week, Marlow revealed his new name as Camacho.[4] On the December 30 episode of SmackDown, Hunico was accompanied by Camacho to a match with Justin Gabriel where Hunico was successful. After the match, Camacho helped Hunico attack Gabriel.[5] On the February 17 edition of Smackdown, Camacho made his in ring debut when he competed in a battle royal to replace Randy Orton in the Elimination Chamber match but was eliminated. On the May 4 edition of Smackdown, Camacho teamed with Hunico in a losing effort against the WWE Tag Team Champions Kofi Kingston and R-Truth. Camacho made his pay-per-view debut at Over The Limit, where he was defeated by Ryback in a singles match.[6] Camacho made two matches on July 4, edition of WWE NXT where he was defeated by Seth Rollins in a singles match, but successfully defeated Seth Rollins, Tyson Kidd, and Bo Dallas in a 6-men tag team match where he teamed with Hunico and Michael McGillicutty. Camacho had his first win in a singles match on July 11, edition of NXT defeating Tyson Kidd following a distraction from Michael McGillicutty that cost Kidd. In the pre-show of Money in the Bank, he and Hunico lost to tag champions Kofi Kingston and R-Truth in a non-title match.[7] At Raw 1,000, Camacho, along with Hunico and four other wrestlers attempted to ambush Kane to make a statement, but The Undertaker returned to save Kane, disposing of Hunico with a chokeslam and a tombstone piledriver.[8] Since then, Camacho has been competing in singles matches with Hunico out of action. After suffering an injury himself on NXT, he underwent surgery for a broken wrist, an will be out for at least 8-10 weeks.
