WWE hasnt forgotten about Santos Escobarin fact, hes about to get a major push in AAA.
After months off TV, Escobars name came up during a recent Self Made Session on YouTube, where Self Made Pro revealed that WWE is circling back to early plans to elevate Escobar in AAA, now that other storylines have played out.
Originally, Escobar was on track to win the AAA Mega Championship, but WWE shifted focus when other starslike Dominik Mysterio and El Grande Americanogot over with the AAA crowd.
This update supports what Bryan Alvarez previously reported on Wrestling Observer Live after Escobar quietly signed a massive new WWE contract in October 2025. According to Alvarez, WWE had been keeping him off TV until they had the right creative directionone that matches the size of the investment.
Escobars only request before signing was a personal meeting with Triple H to discuss his future. WWE granted it, and the deal was done.
For now, Escobar remains off-screenaside from a cryptic social media post where he simply wrote: Waiting patiently. But thanks to his new deal and renewed creative direction, that wait may be nearly over.
