WWE superstar Rey Mysterio is currently on the sidelines following knee surgery, but he is already plotting his revenge on Santos Escobar. Mysterio took to Instagram to express his eagerness to return and settle the score with Escobar, who recently betrayed the LWO and turned heel on television.
The surgery took place in Birmingham, Alabama, where Mysterio has been undergoing treatment. According to PW Insider, the plan was always for Escobar’s betrayal to coincide with Mysterio’s injury, and the original intention was for the two wrestlers to immediately start feuding upon Mysterio’s return.
Meanwhile, backstage reports suggest that Zelina Vega received high praise for her reaction to Escobar’s shocking turn. Vega’s ability to sell the storyline and make it compelling has been commended by those behind the scenes.
