Santos Escobar on a touching moment he shared with his father at WWE Live Event

Santos Escobar recently appeared on WWE's The Bump and shared a touching moment he had with his father at a live event.

Escobar made it to the finals of the SmackDown World Cup but lost to Ricochet in a great match. His faction, Legado Del Fantasma, and the Viking Raiders lost to Hit Row in a Triple Threat match on a recent episode of SmackDown. Hit Row earned a title shot after the victory but lost to The Usos this past Friday.

Speaking on The Bump, the 38-year-old called his father his hero and shared a special moment Triple H allowed him to have with his father at a live event.

"This is for me, and my familia knows it. My dad is my hero," Santos Escobar said. "I am molded by him, forged by him. He taught me everything still does that. And that moment right there. That happened because the company allowed me to have it. Triple H allowed me to have it. Road Dogg allowed me to have it. It's a moment that I'm going to carry within my soul for the rest of my life, and so is my dad. I will always pay homage to Lucha Libre, Mexico. My Latino tradition, but mostly my Alpha, where I come from, my true roots, my country, and my dad."

Santos Escobar debuted on the main roster earlier this year. Time will tell if he misses any time on the blue brand or was able to avoid injury.
