In an intriguing revelation, WWE’s Santos Escobar shared his journey of reviving the Latino World Order (L.W.O.) during the 113th episode of “Out of Character”. The first person he approached with the idea was none other than Triple H, who initially turned it down.

Triple H’s response was clear, “I want you to be you. I want people to see you and not think of anybody else.” This response, while initially disappointing, proved to be a blessing in disguise. It forced Escobar to reflect and refine his vision for the group.

The time wasn’t right then, and the L.W.O. needed a crucial ingredient – an original L.W.O. member. This led to the inclusion of WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio, an original L.W.O. member, and the formation of Legato.

Escobar’s passion for Lucha Libre, his heritage, and his culture shone through every promo, backstage scene, feud, and rivalry. His authenticity resonated with the audience, regardless of their cultural background. This authenticity is what made Legato and Santos Escobar popular in NXT.

Escobar’s journey is a testament to the importance of representation in the WWE. As a Latino viewer, seeing positive representation on TV is refreshing and important. The revival of the L.W.O. is a timely move, reflecting the growing influence of Latinos in various sectors, including business, society, and politics.

Escobar’s story is a reminder that sometimes, the stars need to align for things to fall into place. The revival of the L.W.O. couldn’t have come at a better time, providing proper representation for Latinos worldwide.
