AAA star set for surgery and vows revenge upon return
Summary
– Santos Escobar announced he will be sidelined for several months due to injury
– Reports indicate he is expected to undergo tricep surgery
– Escobar warned he will target El Hijo de Dr Wagner Jr upon his return
Santos Escobar is expected to be out of action for an extended period after revealing he will be sidelined for several months.
The announcement came via a digital video shared by Lucha Libre AAA, in which Escobar appeared holding his injured arm while addressing El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. The former champion made it clear that the injury has impacted both his career and his legacy.
Escobar directly blamed Wagner Jr for the situation, stating that the damage done would not be forgotten. Despite the setback, he promised to return with a clear goal in mind.
When he does make his comeback, Escobar intends to pursue the AAA Latin American Championship and also set his sights on Wagner 3G’s mask, adding further intensity to the rivalry.
Additional reports indicate that Escobar is scheduled to undergo tricep surgery, which will keep him out of competition during the recovery process.
His most recent appearance came at the AAA Rey de Reyes event, where he competed in a four-way match in the tournament finals against OG El Grande Americano, Americano II, and LA Parka.
The injury now forces Escobar to step away at a time when he remained active in AAA competition, but his message made it clear that the rivalry will continue once he returns to the ring
