Santos Escobar severed his ties with the LWO on Friday Night SmackDown following his heel turn last week.
Escobar turned heel by attacking Carlito and Rey Mysterio on The November 10th episode of WWE SmackDown, which led to Mysterio being written off of television so he could undergo knee surgery.
This week’s show saw Escobar cut a promo in which he said that Dominik Mysterio was right about Rey.
Escobar added that he hopes Rey gets an infection followed by an amputation and never comes back.
This caused Zelina Vega to come up and slap Escobar. Joaquin Wilde & Cruz Del Toro then confronted the Mexican wrestler, whom they’ve been allied with since NXT.
Escobar attacked Wilde and Del Toro until Carlito ran to their rescue and made the heel Superstar retreat.
