• SmackDown Wrestler Is Switching Brands, Set To Return Next Week
Santos Escobar’s WWE contract expired earlier this month, leading to speculation that he might leave the company. However, that did not happen, as the former Cruiserweight Champion ultimately reached a new agreement with WWE after receiving an improved offer from the Stamford-based promotion.
According to PWInsider, Escobar is currently scheduled to appear on next Monday’s episode of RAW in Anaheim, California.
This appearance suggests that Escobar will be moving from SmackDown to RAW, as he was part of the blue brand before his contract expired. His last match on WWE television was against Rey Fenix on SmackDown in May, which he lost.

• RAW Wrestler Shares Good News After Initial Bad News
RAW wrestler Zoey Stark has been out of action since May after suffering a serious knee injury during a Money In The Bank Qualifying Triple-Threat Match against Rhea Ripley and Kairi Sane. While attempting a Missile Dropkick on Sane, Stark landed awkwardly and twisted her knee, tearing her ACL, MCL and meniscus.
The 31-year-old underwent a three-hour surgery and has been sidelined ever since. She recently gave an update on her recovery in a video on X.
Here’s what she said:
“What’s up, guys? I just wanted to hop on here and give everyone a quick update from the last video. One of the reasons I was having a hard time was because I was told that I would either have to get a scope done, which is where they go in, clean out my knee, any scar tissue, or two; get a manipulation under anaesthesia.
One of the reasons being is because I didn’t have full range of motion, and that would have pushed my recovery back. That’s why I was so upset and having a really hard time with it. But now we’re back on track, that did not have to happen, thank god. Now I’m running, jumping, I have full range of motion. Things are going great honestly.
I’m happy, I’m blessed, I really, really can’t wait to get back into the ring and get back to you guys.”
