Santos Escobar’s WWE status was called into question on Sunday when fans took to social media to note that his profile was listed in the company’s Alumni section. This followed his lackluster appearance in AAA’s Rey de Reyes tournament final the previous day, where his in-ring performance appeared to be very lethargic, supporting the speculation that he had been released. However, Bodyslam.net has clarified that he remains employed, and his misclarification stems from a website oversight.
“Sources indicate to Bodyslam that Escobar is still with WWE and expected to continue in a program with El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. for the AAA Latin American Championship on AAA TV. Escobar has been in the alumni section since his contract expired back in October, before re-signing with WWE a day later.” – Bodyslam.net
41-year-old Escobar re-signed with WWE in October 2025 after a brief contract lapse. Yet despite reportedly signing a big-money deal to keep him from joining AEW, he then experienced a prolonged absence from WWE television. He finally returned to action on NXT house shows in January 20026, including a singles match with El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr., leading to him joining the AAA roster and competing in the high-profile Rey de Reyes tournament.
