Carlito is going to be in action at Survivor Series 2023!
On Friday’s WWE SmackDown, Santos Escobar came to the ring and said never meet your heroes. Escobar said he modeled everything in his career after Rey Mysterio. Rey became a father figure to him and made him feel at home. But after last week, he realized that Dominik Mysterio was right about Rey.
Escobar said he deserved to become the United States Champion, but Rey became champion. He wanted to rebuild the LWO, but Rey became the leader and brought in new members like Carlito. He said Rey sided with an outsider like Carlito instead of family like him.
Santos then apologized, for not attacking Rey harder. Santos hopes Rey never comes back and hopes Rey’s leg gets amputated after the knee surgery. Zelina Vega came out and slapped Santos.
Joaquin Wilde and Cruz Del Toro also came out and Escobar asked if they will side with Zelina. Escobar told them to get out as he doesn’t need them. Escobar then attacked them, which led to Carlito coming out. Escobar then left the ring.
Carlito vs. Santos will take place at Survivor Series 2023. An interesting statistic about this match is that this is going to be Carlito’s first singles WWE PPV/PLE match in over 16 years. His last singles WWE PPV match was at Unforgiven 2007, where he faced Triple H.
According to the Wrestling Observer, Dragon Lee is scheduled to become a part of this storyline and side with Rey, where Rey will endorse him as the next great luchador.
There’s also been some talks of calling Los Lotharios (Humberto Carrillo & Angel Garza) back to the main roster and side them with Escobar in this feud.
