As previously reported, Santos Escobar recently re-signed with WWE just a couple of days after his previous contract expired.

According to Fightful Select, many people within the company were pleasantly surprised by Escobar’s return. There was a belief that the offer he received would be retracted if he did not accept it within a short time frame, a rule that applies to him as it has to others, such as Karrion Kross.

The report also mentioned that before re-signing with WWE, Escobar was scheduled to appear at the New York Comic-Con. Although the outlet confirmed this news, there were no indications of any serious discussions between him and AEW.

Escobar’s new contract with WWE is said to provide “great money,” although it was initially reported that he turned down a pay raise because he was more focused on creative plans for his character. There is currently no information on when Escobar might return to WWE television, but his new deal is believed to be larger than his previous contracts.
