Santos Escobar has returned on television after disappearing
for six months, but this time, he was on AAA’s premiere
episode on FOX.
Escobar interrupted El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr., who issued a
challenge in the ring. Wearing his old El Hijo del Fantasma
Jr. mask, he told something to Wagner in his ear and then
clocked him.
He got the AAA Latin American title on his shoulder and
unmasked himself, declaring his name as Santos Escobar
before dropping the title again.
It’s been a long road back for Escobar, who famously left
the WWE when his contract expired and then re-signed a few
days later for a larger contract. He last wrestled in July
2025 at a non-televised live event in Mexico, with his last
televised appearance coming at the WWExAAA Worlds Collide:
Los Angeles in June.
