Santos Escobar recently appeared as a guest on Babyfaces Radio for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During the discussion, the LWO member spoke about whether or not he would challenge his hero Rey Mysterio for the WWE United States Championship, as well as how he’s not currently medically cleared to return to the ring.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where he touches on these topics with his thoughts.
On whether he would challenge his idol Rey Mysterio for the United States Championship: “Absolutely, yes. We already went at it just to get an opportunity at this title. Now that he holds the title, the one thing I know for sure is that he will give me an opportunity when the time comes. I’m not ready to compete right now because of Austin Theory, and before I go for the title, I would like to repay Austin in kind.”
On how he is still not cleared for return: “I’m not cleared to compete right now as it is, because of Austin Theory, but trust me, my mind, my heart are strong. I’m a strong willed person. I will comeback. When I comeback, I will come back full steam.”
