Zelina Vega, who was also a guest on the show, was asked how she felt when Santos Escobar requested a match against Rey Mysterio. 

“Shook,” responded Vega when talking about her initial reaction to Escobar’s request. “Not only did Rey get Santos, but he also got all of us. The thing is, he [Mysterio] brought the title to the LWO, and he brought it to our family. Santos is going to get his time, he’s going to get his chance. I think the best thing about us is that no matter what, we all support each other through and through.”

She also emphasized that Mysterio is a forgiving person and that the Hall of Famer sees something in Escobar and the rest of LWO, which is why he brought them in. 

Escobar was originally supposed to face Austin Theory for the US title, after he defeated Mysterio in the final of the United States Championship Invitational on “WWE SmackDown.” However, the former NXT star couldn’t face Theory after the former US Champion attacked the Mexican star. This ultimately resulted in Mysterio replacing him and winning the title for the third time in his career.

In his four-year career with WWE, Escobar has held one title, the “NXT” Cruiserweight Championship, which he held for over 300 days.
