WWE Star Has Been Expected To Leave For AEW — Report
It sounds like a certain WWE Superstar has been expected to leave the company and join AEW.
Free agency in professional wrestling is hotter now than it’s been in over two decades. With two top national promotions in the United States, wrestlers have more places to work now than they have in a long time, from a financial standpoint.
Last week, Andrade El Idolo made his shocking return to AEW, and now it sounds like we’re about to see another WWE Superstar join him soon.
Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez discussed the recent departure of Santos Escobar on Wrestling Observer Radio, and while Alvarez believes Escobar might have already put pen to paper to join AEW, Meltzer noted he’s heard from multiple people in WWE who expect him to land there.
Surprising New Update Emerges On Santos Escobar's WWE Status
About 48 hours ago, Santos Escobar was a WWE Superstar. A day later, he wasn't. Now, it appears he's back under the WWE umbrella for the foreseeable future.
The former NXT Cruiserweight Champion became a free agent on Tuesday morning after more than five years with the company. He had reportedly let his contract expire, despite WWE's attempt to re-sign him.
Some within the promotion even believed he was AEW-bound, and his profile was moved to the WWE Alumni section of its website.
Mike Johnson of PWInsider reported on Wednesday afternoon, however, that Escobar has indeed re-signed with WWE.
Johnson notes in his report that Escobar and WWE put the pen to paper late on Tuesday. He said WWE considered Escobar's creative concerns for his character, and delivered a new offer at a higher rate than previously extended. It was then he agreed to the new deal, and he is officially back under contract with the company.
