“This was a character that we had to develop, you know, King Cuerno the hunter,” he continued. “It helped me develop and grow my ability, my talent, my tools for our industry, for our business. And it also helped the United States of America – and why not? The WWE Universe also – learn who’s this guy, where’s he coming from, and create and generate questions about my work.”

Escobar has yet to win any championship gold during his time on the main roster, but he is a former “NXT” Cruiserweight Champion. He’s also come close on multiple occasions to earning a shot at WWE Intercontinental Champion GUNTHER in the past. With the two superstars on separate brands nowadays, however, there’s always the possibility of chasing after the United States Championship instead. That is if he fails to qualify for the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match.
