Santos Escobar Says He’s Still Not Cleared To Return, Promises To Come Back Full Steam

WWE star Santos Escobar recently joined Babyfaces Radio for an in-depth conversation about all things pro-wrestling, including his thoughts on potentially challenging Rey Mysterio for the U.S. title and how he’s still not cleared for a return. Highlights from the interview are below.

When asked whether he would challenge his idol Rey Mysterio for the United States Championship, Escobar responded with enthusiasm:

“Absolutely, yes. We already went at it just to get an opportunity at this title. Now that he holds the title, the one thing I know for sure is that he will give me an opportunity when the time comes. I’m not ready to compete right now because of Austin Theory, and before I go for the title, I would like to repay Austin in kind.”

Escobar also addressed his current status, stating that he is still not cleared for a return:

“I’m not cleared to compete right now as it is, because of Austin Theory, but trust me, my mind, my heart are strong. I’m a strong-willed person. I will come back. When I come back, I will come back full steam.”

This interview comes after Escobar previously discussed his enjoyment of reviving the LWO with Rey Mysterio in a July interview. You can read more about that here.
