WWE’s decision to revive the LWO stable has left many fans wondering about the reasoning behind it. According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, the move was likely due to the upcoming WrestleMania and the event’s strong Latino fanbase. Meltzer also noted that factions have always been a fan favorite and that a babyface Latino faction could prove to be a hit.
Furthermore, WWE plans to utilize Rey Mysterio to help elevate Legado Del Fantasma, and the return of the LWO could aid in that effort. It’s worth noting that the original incarnation of the LWO didn’t quite hit the mark, but WWE is hoping that their new version will be more successful.
With Rey and Dominik Mysterio’s ongoing feud set to continue after WrestleMania, a potential LWO vs. Judgment Day matchup could be in the works. The specifics of how this storyline will play out remain to be seen, but fans are eagerly anticipating what promises to be an exciting showdown.
As WWE has a vast library of intellectual properties, they can revive popular stables like the LWO at a moment’s notice. While the decision to bring back the faction may have been surprising to some, it’s clear that WWE has a plan in place to utilize the stable to elevate new talent and entertain fans.
