Santos Escobar’s WWE status became a topic of speculation earlier today after fans noticed his profile listed in the Alumni section of WWE’s official website instead of the Current Superstars page. The unexpected placement immediately raised questions about whether Escobar had quietly exited the company.

The timing of the discovery added to the confusion. Escobar had just competed in the AAA Rey de Reyes 2026 tournament final, where El Grande Americano defeated Escobar, La Parka, and the “Original” El Grande Americano in a chaotic four‑way match to earn a future AAA Mega Championship opportunity.
A new report from Bodyslam.net has now provided clarity on the situation. According to the outlet, Escobar remains under WWE contract and is still part of the company’s plans. The report states that he is expected to continue working with El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. in a storyline program for the AAA Latin American Championship on AAA television.
“Sources indicate to Bodyslam that Escobar is still with WWE and expected to continue in a program with El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. for the AAA Latin American Championship on AAA TV.”
The report also explained how the confusion began. Escobar’s brief contract expiration last year resulted in his profile being moved to the Alumni section, and it was never restored after he re‑signed.
“Escobar has been in the alumni section since his contract expired back in October before re‑signing with WWE a day later. WWE’s social team just never moved him back to the active roster page.”
Escobar re‑signed with WWE in October 2025, one day after his contract lapsed. Since then, he has continued appearing across WWE programming and resumed competing in AAA in January 2026 as part of the ongoing partnership between the two promotions. Based on the latest update, the roster listing appears to be nothing more than a lingering website oversight rather than an indication that Escobar has left WWE.
