WWE’s Santos Escobar reveals all on wrestling journey and how representation fuels him & LWO ahead of Money in the Bank

WWE superstar Santos Escobar will be representing the plight of every hardworking person heading to Money in the Bank.

Escobar will compete in the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match tonight at The O2 Arena in London.

Santos Escobar went through leaps and bounds to make it to WWEWWE

Escobar insists the LWO represents every single hardworking person in the world

The Mexican crowd favourite will face Damian Priest, Ricochet, Shinsuke Nakamura, LA Knight, British star Butch and social media sensation Logan Paul.

The 39-year-old had to earn his stripes in AAA, Lucha Underground and Impact Wrestling where he wrestled as El Hijo del Fantasma as a tribute to his legendary father El Fantasma.

The highflier’s hard work paid off as he was called up by NXT in 2019 where he formed Legado del Fantasma alongside Cruz Del Toro and Joaquin Wilde.

The group earned promotion to the main roster three years later where they teamed up with Zelina Vega before they all linked up with WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio to reform the Latino World Order.

The former Cruiserweight Champion is adamant the stable represents every single person who had to scratch and claw to get what they deserve in the world.

And the lucha libre legend is confident he and Vega, who also competes in the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, will make their fans proud in London.

Escobar told SunSport: “I’m super excited, I’m an international talent which means I had to work really hard to get to WWE. Then I had to work even more to get a faction of my own.

“But then to have a faction with Rey Mysterio, I didn’t work for it. That was a reward.

“Right now, I feel like representation is really important. That’s what we thrive for, that’s what we work for every single day – to represent our people.

“But I think LWO has evolved into something bigger than that. It has begun a phenomenon that represents all sorts of nationalities.

“If you wake up every day and you have the will, the determination, the grit; then you know we represent you.

“We even have London World Order shirts. Why? Because I believe that’s the movement that we represent nowadays.

“And having the opportunity at Money in the Bank to have a Mr and Ms Money in the Bank from the same group/faction, it’s amazing.”
