The assembly between LWO members Rey Mysterio and Santos Escobar on the July 28 version of WWE SmackDown did not go precisely as deliberate.
The match ended prematurely when it was dominated that Mysterio, who appeared to undergo some kind of harm, may now not compete.
Escobar has since revealed that the masked man suffered a gentle concussion within the bout, confirming earlier studies.
Talking with Steve Fall (for WrestlingNews.co), Escobar stated:
“The present that you simply obtained is the present that it was gonna be. I consider that it is very important current present and I consider that was the case that evening. Rey and I went exhausting at it. That is what we agreed upon. We’ve got a really lengthy relationship. You already know, we now have a bond. And when you have got that, you go exhausting. That is what occurs once you go exhausting. I am simply glad that he had a small delicate concussion. However he got here again exhausting. After which properly, you already know what occurred a few weeks after the very fact”.
Although Santos gained the match and thus a shot at then-United States Champion Austin Idea, it was really Mysterio who ended up strolling away with the gold, changing Escobar (who had been attacked twice by Idea earlier than their scheduled match) on the August 11 episode of SmackDown.
