There was a big return on AAA’s premiere episode on Fox last night. Santos Escobar has returned to the WWE.
Escobar confronted El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr., the current AAA Latin American Champion wearing his old Hijo del Fantasma Jr. mask.
The two shook hands and then Escobar pulled him close, whispered to him before knocking him out, holding up his title and then dropping it on him.

Later, Escobar was cornered backstage.
“What? You to know something about me now? For six months I am away and not one question….Naw, it doesn’t work like that. You want to know something about me? Now, it is on my time,” he said before walking away.
Back last October, it was reported that Escobar’s contract with WWE expired and that he was leaving the company. Shortly after that, he signed a new deal with the promotion.
