Santos Escobar Ready for WWE Return – Santos Escobar’s future with WWE appeared uncertain earlier this month when reports surfaced that his contract had expired and that he intended to sign with All Elite Wrestling. However, WWE quickly intervened with a lucrative counteroffer — securing his return to the company within 48 hours of his deal expiring.
Mike Johnson of PWInsider now reports that Escobar is expected to be at next week’s episode of WWE RAW in Anaheim, marking his first on-screen appearance since re-signing. This development is particularly intriguing given that the rest of his Legado del Fantasmo stablemates — Angel Garza and Humberto Carrillo — have remained active on SmackDown. Escobar’s upcoming RAW presence has fueled speculation that WWE may be positioning him for a solo run separate from the group.
Behind the scenes, Escobar’s decision to stay with WWE reportedly came as a surprise to many within the company. It was noted that several people in WWE were “pleasantly surprised” by the news, particularly since Escobar’s initial plan was believed to be an AEW move. Sapp further revealed that WWE’s revised offer was “significantly larger” than their previous contract proposal, reflecting how much value company officials see in Escobar.
Escobar, a former NXT Cruiserweight Champion, has been with WWE since 2019, first rising to prominence as the leader of Legado del Fantasmo in NXT before transitioning to the main roster. While he has not appeared on WWE television in recent weeks, sources suggest his return is imminent — and fans may soon see what direction WWE plans for his next chapter.
