With WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio sidelined due to injury, Carlito will step up and take on Santos Escobar at Survivor Series: WarGames after Escobar’s shocking actions toward The LWO.
After Mysterio lost the United States Championship to Logan Paul at WWE Crown Jewel, Carlito accused Escobar of costing him the match intentionally. Moments later, Escobar seemed to confirm Carlito’s suspicions by attacking The LWO, leaving Mysterio down and injured after dropkicking the steel steps into his leg.
Now, the two Superstars will square off in a bitter grudge match with more than just bragging rights on the line.
