Santos Escobar issues farewell message to WWE executives ahead of departure

Summary

Santos Escobar shared a farewell message on social media as he nears the end of his 90-day non-compete clause following his release from WWE on April 2026. Despite a new contract and a torn triceps injury, Escobar faced challenges in securing TV time, participating in only eight televised matches in two years. He expressed gratitude for his experiences while subtly calling out WWE President Nick Khan and CCO Paul Levesque. Escobar’s tenure featured a blend of in-ring performances and personal challenges, including wrestling in AAA before his departure. His last appearance for WWE was in February 2025 against Rey Fenix on SmackDown, with his final match at a house show in January 2026.
