The Stamford-based promotion confirmed Escobar's departure following the latest edition of Monday Night RAW by moving him to the alumni section of the roster page. However, the former NXT Cruiserweight Champion and World Wrestling Entertainment have reportedly now agreed on a new deal.

Earlier today, Santos Escobar broke his silence and took to his Instagram account to post a video of himself from a photoshoot with some text as part of the graphic. The clip featured a subtle message, possibly regarding his re-signing with the global juggernaut.

"IT IS ONLY THE BEGINNING. NEVER UNDERESTIMATE POWER," read the text, along with what appeared to be his signature at the end.

Escobar also shared another picture of himself, seemingly from the same photoshoot, wearing a mask. The 41-year-old could return to wrestling under a mask under his new contract with the wrestling promotion.


Why did Santos Escobar quit WWE in the first place?

The leader of Legado del Fantasma was reportedly offered a contract extension. However, he decided against signing the deal at first.

According to a report from PWInsider, the issue Escobar had was not regarding money. He was reportedly concerned about the future direction of his on-screen character. He did not want his character to get lost in the mix.

Santos Escobar's concerns made complete sense, looking at his recent bookings. The former LWO member has yet to win a singles match in 2025, with just two months left in the year.

His last win inside the squared circle, barring a Six-Man Tag Team victory alongside Angel and Berto at Worlds Collide in June, was on the August 9, 2024, edition of Friday Night SmackDown. He defeated Andrade in a United States number-one contenders match. Unfortunately, he lost the eventual title bout to LA Knight two weeks later.

Only time will tell how Escobar fares inside the ring following his re-signing.
