Santos Escobar Shares Cryptic Statement Ahead of WWE SmackDown

Santos Escobar has shared a cryptic message on X ahead of WWE SmackDown, fueling speculation about his imminent return to television. The 41-year-old wrestler, who last competed in July at a WWE house show in Mexico, posted that he is “waiting, patiently,” signaling anticipation for his next move within the company.

Escobar recently re-signed with WWE, with an updated contract reportedly finalized in early October, according to PWInsider’s Mike Johnson. Since then, he has been allegedly seen backstage at Monday Night RAW but has yet to reappear on WWE programming. His latest tweet shows him wearing the same mask he wore in the picture he posted after re-signing with WWE, hinting at a possible return soon, as fans eagerly await further developments.

“Waiting, Patiently.”

The star’s absence from television has created curiosity regarding his next move. Santos Escobar’s social media post suggests he may be preparing for a return, but WWE has not issued any official statement about his status. Fans monitoring the situation view the message as a possible indication that he could resume on-screen activity soon.
