Santos Escobar Gets the Dominik Mysterio Treatment on WWE SmackDown After Crossing the Line

At last week’s Smackdown, Santos Escobar brutally turned on his stable mate and childhood hero Rey Mysterio. Before fans and the 48-year-old veteran himself could heal from the shock, Escobar struck out again, this time verbally.

The thick crowd of Ford Center, Indiana, paid him back with continuous booing when he crossed all his limits by taking a dig at Mysterio’s gradually recovering injury.

Santos Escober earned massive backlash bashing Rey Mysterio on SmackDown

Recently, Rey Mysterio revealed that he had undergone knee surgery after receiving an unforeseen blow from Escobar. While cutting a promo tonight, a frenzied Escobar dished Mysterio, terribly saying he apologized only for not doing more damage. Adding to that, the LWO member continued he utterly hoped that the surgery didn’t go well and they had to amputate his legs.

He also deemed Dominik Mysterio right when he decided to go against his father and thinks the older Mysterio’s win over his son was completely unjust.

The crowd did the same that they did to a heel Dom Dom. A loud ‘you suck’ chant started echoing from every corner of the arena throughout Escobar’s grudge segment.

But what’s next on WWE’s card for Santos Escobar’s newly-minted heel turn?

WWE’s upcoming plan regarding LWO affairs

WWE has been brewing a heel turn for Santos Escober for quite some time. Finally, it materialized on last week’s SmackDown through an abrupt attack on The Luchador. Escober capitalized on this momentum continuing building heat over the injury tonight. It begs the most obvious question: What WWE will pan out his heel turn down the line?

According to Dave Meltzer, WWE’s plan for the ongoing rivalry between the two stablemates Rey Mysterio and Santos Escober involves a team vs team situation. Two groups will butt heads on the main roster.

The report reads, ”It’s gonna be group vs group. It’s gonna be Santos and some partners vs Rey with partners. I don’t know what they’re going to do with the LWO name, which side gets it? Maybe they’re even going to feud over the name, I don’t know.”

While anything can happen next given the explosive situation, we need to see who runs the LWO next moving forward.
