Recently, speculation began circulating online about Santos Escobar after fans noticed him listed in the alumni section of WWE.com, prompting some outlets to suggest he was "quietly moved" there. However, Fightful Select has reported that this is not the case.
According to Fightful Select, Escobar has been in the alumni section since his WWE contract briefly expired in October. He re-signed with the company a few days later, but he did not return to the active roster section. The site confirmed last week with WWE that he is still with the company.
The report also mentioned that in recent weeks, Escobar has expressed a desire to be used more effectively in WWE. He is expected to continue working with AAA and, according to Bodyslam+, he will carry on his program with El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. for the AAA Latin American Championship.
Escobar competed at AAA Rey De Reyes this past weekend in the finals of the tournament, which was ultimately won by El Grande Americano II. The original El Grande Americano and La Parka were also part of the match, during which Escobar was attacked by someone wearing a Hijo del Fantasma mask. One AAA talent described Escobar’s performance as “lethargic,” but there has been no information regarding what might have contributed to this.
