The sudden release of Santos Escobar from WWE has sent shockwaves throughout the wrestling world, with many fans and pundits left wondering what the future holds for one of the company’s most talented performers. According to sources close to the situation, Escobar’s expected return to the negotiating table with CMLL (Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre) marks a significant turning point in his career, one that could potentially lead to a reunion with the historic Mexican promotion.
A Glimpse into the Past: CMLL’s Anticipation of Escobar’s Arrival
CMLL, widely regarded as one of the most storied and respected wrestling promotions in the world, had long anticipated Santos Escobar’s arrival within their ranks. Sources suggest that the promotion had genuinely expected Escobar to join their roster when his WWE contract expired last year, only for WWE to swoop in with a significant offer that ultimately changed the course of events.
“We had been in talks with Santos for some time, and we were confident that he would be joining our roster,” revealed a CMLL insider, who wished to remain anonymous. “We had a vision for him, and we were excited to see him bring his unique style and charisma to our promotion. Unfortunately, WWE’s offer was too good to pass up, but now that he’s free to explore other options, we’re hopeful that we can rekindle those discussions and bring him back home.”
The Road to CMLL: A Journey of Passion and Opportunity

With a storied career spanning multiple promotions, including WWE, Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, and CMLL, Escobar has consistently demonstrated a passion for the art of lucha libre and a deep commitment to his craft.
“CMLL has always been a special place for me,” Escobar said in a recent interview. “I have a deep respect for the promotion’s history and legacy, and I’m excited at the prospect of joining a roster that includes some of the best wrestlers in the world. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to bring my skills and experience to CMLL and help continue the promotion’s tradition of excellence.”
The WWE Factor: A Significant Offer That Changed the Course of Events
While CMLL had been in talks with Escobar, WWE’s sudden interest in the wrestler proved to be a game-changer. According to sources, WWE’s offer was substantial, with the company willing to provide Escobar with a significant contract and creative freedom that would have allowed him to showcase his talents in a major way.
“WWE’s offer was a tough one to turn down,” admitted a WWE insider, who wished to remain anonymous. “We knew that Santos was a talented wrestler with a lot to offer, and we were willing to do whatever it took to keep him in the company. Unfortunately, it seems that our offer wasn’t enough to keep him from exploring other options, but we’re hopeful that we can still find a way to bring him back into the fold.”
