Escobar, a WWE and AAA superstar, remains part of Legado Del Fantasma. He is scheduled to undergo surgery on Thursday, March 19, 2026.
The injury originally occurred during an NXT house show tour around Royal Rumble weekend while working with El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. Initially there was hope that it wasn't a full tear, but it turned out to be quite serious.
Escobar's Revenge
Escobar is vowing revenge on El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. and is targeting his mask, which holds enormous significance in Lucha Libre tradition.?
When I come back, because you better believe I'm coming back. I'm not just coming back for that title. This time, I'm coming back for what you value most, what you say is the most beautiful thing in Mexican Lucha Libre. Be careful what you wish for.
El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. interfered during the AAA Rey de Reyes final, costing Escobar the match. Tricep surgeries typically require several months of recovery, so there is no timetable for Escobar's return.
