In a recent twist of events, Santos Escobar, after his previous betrayal, has made a bold statement indicating a dark turn in his standoff with WWE icon Rey Mysterio. This enmity, fuelled back in November when Escobar caused Mysterio a torn meniscus injury, has escalated with Escobar’s warning following Mysterio’s return on the latest episode of SmackDown.
The episode that aired on March 1st showcased a fierce Street Fight between Escobar and Carlito. Despite Garza and Carillo’s efforts to sway the match, it was the involvement of LWO’s Joaquin Wilde and Cruz Del Toro that brought further controversy. However, the situation took an unexpected turn when Rey Mysterio, even with crutches, intervened. His interference allowed Carlito to emerge victorious, much to the dismay of Escobar.
Escobar didn’t hold back as he addressed Mysterio backstage in a video shared on WWE’s official Instagram. He delivered a ferocious promise:
“Rey, I gave you a way out. I let you leave on an injury, with your head held high like a legend, but you had to come back and ruin my moment. This is my time! And you didn’t take the opportunity. Well, you’re up against a warrior. I said it before and I’ll say it again – that was just the beginning. And tonight with you coming back again, I swear to you from the bottom of my heart, I will end you.”
With the stage set for a dramatic showdown, the possibility of a fiery singles match at WrestleMania is on everyone’s mind as Rey Mysterio makes his presence known once more on SmackDown.
With WrestleMania on the horizon, fans speculate if Escobar’s vow will culminate in a climactic battle against Mysterio. Will Escobar’s words prove to be fateful for Mysterio’s legacy?
