A WWE wrestler recently commented ahead of what seems to be an imminent return to WWE following the expiration of his contract. In early October, it was confirmed that Santos Escobar’s contract with WWE had ended, and he was officially removed from the current roster section on WWE’s website, being moved to the alumni section instead. However, it later emerged that Escobar had re-signed with WWE after a brief period as a free agent. This new deal is reportedly significant, with ambitious creative plans underway.
Despite signing a new contract, Escobar has not yet appeared on WWE television, although he was said to be present backstage at at least one show. He has kept a low profile on social media during this time but recently shared a brief message saying, “waiting, be patient.” Notably, he posted a picture of himself wearing the mask from his earlier persona, El Hijo del Fantasma, from before he joined WWE NXT in 2019. During his time away from WWE TV, Escobar took part in extensive training sessions at Ace Steele’s Harley Race Foundation of Pro Wrestling School.
Fan Take: This development is exciting for WWE fans because it signals big things ahead for Santos Escobar, a talented performer with a rich wrestling background. His return could bring fresh storylines and high-level in-ring action, adding more depth and excitement to WWE programming.
