Santos Escobar's recovery from tricep surgery has hit a setback. The superstar announced he requires a second procedure to address a complication that emerged from the initial operation.
Escobar posted the update on Instagram, revealing he needs surgery on his ulnar nerve after describing the development as "a minor hiccup" from his previous procedure. He expressed disappointment at missing WrestleMania week, one of the most significant stretches on the calendar.
Escobar was originally expected to be sidelined until late summer following the tricep surgery. The additional procedure leaves his return timeline unknown for now.
The original injury occurred during the AAA Rey de Reyes tournament, where Escobar competed in a four-way match in the finals. A video filmed after the event showed him clutching his arm and confirming he would be out for an extended period.
The ulnar nerve runs from the neck down to the hand and plays a critical role in arm and hand function, making a full and careful recovery essential before any return to in-ring competition. We wish him a speedy recovery.
