Santos Escobar Confirms He’s Out of Action For Months Following injury

Santos Escobar has confirmed he will be on the shelf for a while after aggravating an injury at AAA Rey de Reyes over the weekend. As previously noted, Escobar reportedly suffered an injury at AAA Rey de Reyes, aggravating a tricep injury into a tear. He is set to undergo surgery on Thursday.

Lucha Libre AAA posted a new video to Twitter with Escobar in which he confirmed the injury. Escobar said:

“I came to AAA, Wagner, to show you what real lucha libre is and to prove that you’re not on my level. And that your mask is not the most beautiful in Mexican lucha libre. What you did today is unforgivable. The medical report says I’ll be out for months — months. This is what I do to provide for my family, my legacy, and you messed with it.

“When I come back, because you better believe I’m coming back, I’m not just coming for that title. This time, I’m coming for what you value most, what you say is the most beautiful thing in Mexican lucha libre. Be careful what you wish for.”

On behalf of 411, our best wishes to Escobar on a quick and full recovery.
