Santos Escobar is reportedly set to make his return to WWE RAW this week in Anaheim.
A new report from BodySlam.net has verified an initial story from PWInsider.com that Santos Escobar will be at WWE RAW. However, his role on the show remains unclear.
Three cryptic vignettes were posted on WWE’s social media on Sunday, leading to speculation that Escobar could be involved. One theory is that Escobar could unveil a new character. Interestingly, fans have also guessed that the cryptic teasers could be about WWE stars like Gunther or Tony D’Angelo. A fourth teaser posted on Monday also showed a pair of black cowboy boots and jeans, leading to speculation that Brock Lesnar could be involved.
If he does show up, it could mark the start of a new chapter for Santos Escobar on WWE RAW. However, it’s worth noting that WWE has not dropped any hints about the teasers, simply showing four different pairs of shoes. PWInsider.com later reported that the vignettes are likely for something else, and not exactly linked to Escobar or a new stable.
Santos Escobar’s WWE journey has taken several turns in recent weeks. His contract recently expired, and he reportedly planned to join AEW. However, WWE quickly learned about his plans and offered him a better deal, re-signing him within 48 hours of his contract expiring.
Update: Fightful (via Fightful Select) also reported that Escobar was at RAW in Anaheim, but did not indicate whether he’d appear on the show or not.
