Santos Escobar will be undergoing surgery.
Fightful Select is reporting that the 41-year-old is set to undergo surgery for a torn tricep this Thursday, after dealing with the injury for a while.
According to the site, Santos Escobar originally suffered the injury while wrestling El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. during an NXT Live Event over the Royal Rumble weekend in January.
The high-flying star had stopped working the live events after that but he competed in a couple of matches for AAA recently, while still dealing with the damage.
Unfortunately the former LWO member aggravated the injury during his most recent match at Rey de Reyes involving the two El Grande Americano and La Parka, and he will now have to take an extended hiatus.
Escobar had recently been in news when screenshots showing him in the alumni section of WWE's website led to speculation about his release from the company.
It was later revealed, however, that his profile had originally been moved to the alumni after his contract expired last year. The Mexican star re-signed with the company shortly afterward but he was never moved back to the active roster page.
SEScoops wishes a speedy recovery to Santos Escobar.
