Santos Escobar was a free agent for just one day after signing a new deal with WWE. More details have emerged about Escobar's new contract, which was surprising since he was barely used by the company in 2025. Escobar's initial contract expired on October 7, and his profile on WWE.com was moved to the Alumni Section. However, the two sides came to an agreement the following day, according to PW Insider. The report indicated that the company was open to the 41-year-old's concerns about creative. On the latest episode of the Wrestling Observer Radio, Bryan Alvarez reported that Escobar's latest contract will give him more money and perks. Alvarez also responded to people assuming that the former LWO member will be sitting in catering, saying that with the money he's going to earn, it would be hard for WWE to keep Escobar on the sidelines. "Maybe he will… but historically I can’t think of one person… making that kind of money that's sitting around in catering, so I think you’re going to see a lot more of Santos Escobar," Alvarez said.
