KONNAN did MELISSA SANTOS bring all the backstage AEW heat on BRIAN CAGE? kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5aoe2ycnqdoh80

[@ehhhhwassupdoc]

Santos just gives off a very cool vibe without even doing much.

[@davidratty2242]

He's awesome

[@veegob5287]

Honestly, I never even thought about Rey needing backup & how easy it is to put Legado De Fantasma with him. Great thought

[@ithinkaboutthings9052]

Santos Escobar sounds like a great daytime soap villain.

[@russellcampbell3500]

I can't see what Joe is doing but when disco said " play the video Joe" it sounded like he was putting a tape in the VCR and starting it up with a pull cord. Lol

[@josgor9061]

This stood out as a special moment. Felt real. A boy who obviously idolized Rey Mysterio Jr as a kid.

[@mansion1719]

if English is his 2nd language then that makes the great promo even better.

[@Robby_C]

Skype interrupting Disco is hilarious.

[@WrestlingFan777]

Even Skype think what we are thinking - Dusco - Stop interrupting people with your highly pitched feminine voice.

[@JAvellino669]

Excellent segment. I've been a huge fan of Phantasma since originally seeing him in Lucha Underground, and I was still blown away by his delivery with Ray here. Putting him with Ray would be golden, no matter if they go after Judgement Day or the Usos.

[@michaelrodriguez7380]

Rooting for Santos!

[@liamstewart4472]

I remember Santos vs Karrion Kross had a really epic battle in NXT, i would like to see that again.

[@Wolflynx07]

Yea

[@Shisui5752]

As long as Kross sticks to being brawler, instead of a grappler/submission wrestler.

[@philwalsh8975]

Rhea Ripley is a bigger draw than MJF

[@HoneyBearLife]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@TriplomatX]

If WWE can push Mexicans like they did Rey Mysterio & Eddie Guerrero, though American as well, Santos Escobar IS YOUR GUY! He's the real deal, a true student of Pro Wrestling. I hope we can see him as WWE World/Universal Champion one day.

[@HoneyBearLife]

100% AGREE!

[@therayman4536]

I like how they are using Santos to stand up to Dominic for Rey

[@KeepinIt100OFFICIAL]

it's all leading to something...

[@arturorivera6173]

Lucha Underground was a creative land mine . Never seen so many cool gimmicks come out of nowhere like , It's not Santos Escobar, it's King Cuerno! . Prince Puma, Matanza , Mil Muertes . Who was in charge of coming up with all that ?!

[@KeepinIt100OFFICIAL]

I don't have a clue but i think we should give all of the credit to Disco

[@arturorivera6173]

@@KeepinIt100OFFICIAL All credit is due.

[@thatonedudeoverhere]

[@thesilentsociety3252]

Honestly since Rey doesn’t want to fight Dom, I could definitely see Santos stepping up to defend Rey’s legacy. Because the Legado vs. Rey & Dom match back during NXT2.0 was great.

[@jrob476]

Santos and Legado Del Fantasma are my favorite in WWE. I hope they do big things.

[@royalty843]

I thought it was a cool moment, like a rookie in the NBA or NFL getting the rub from a Brady or Jordan.

[@KeepinIt100OFFICIAL]

Orlando Jordan went to the NBA?! (i kid, i kid)

[@mikefegan2324]

he is better than you could ever dream of being

[@fastestgorilla7971]

so many people keep talking about how excellent The Bloodline storyline has been, well what about Rey vs Dominik? It's been going for like 5-6 months and they haven't had ONE match yet.

[@31dollarburnphone38]

Probably saving it for WrestleMania

[@ninthlife1745]

Santos & LDF have a very cool aura about them. This is a good idea but at the same time, babyface factions never work in the long run.

[@jeremygott7709]

DX, which started heel, and New Day, if you want to consider them a faction, are the only long term successes that I can think of.

[@ninthlife1745]

@@jeremygott7709 DX i will accept the L on... I'm not too sure about New Day though. I mean I like them but i wouldn't call them a huge success.

[@jeremygott7709]

@@ninthlife1745 They’ve been one of the most dominant teams in along time. They’ve also had successful midcard title runs, though I can’t remember if all of those are before they became New Day or not. 2/3 have been WWE Champion, though their runs weren’t great. They’ve stayed together for longer than most groups and fans still love them. I’d say they’re pretty successful, I just question whether a 3 man group, that never grows, is a faction.

[@chuckyoudude330]

That's good shit, Disco! Good shit!

[@QAZ-OMEN]

This was a great moment

[@philwalsh8975]

Zelina Vega is a bigger draw than MJF

[@paladynius]

MJF is becoming the Miz in AEW. Gus 60 minutes with Danielson isn't changing it If MJF is smart, and I hope he is, he is leveraging MarKhan offer to get the most $$ from WWE to start. If he signed an extension, well, he's an idiot. Because only one thing would truly matter in 2024 for him, IF HE LEFT. He stays and especially if he resigned, he lost an actual bidding war. Any professional that is still seeking their legacy cannot be happy in AEW other than Tony Khan and his fun bunch. Omega definitely wants out. I think YB's do to. Just so they can have one run, and one time at WM. Most NJPW non-gaijin talent I bet wishes there was a working relationship with WWE and NJPW, not AEW.

[@josephdell8056]

@@paladynius he won't sign an extension. He will be in WWE soon

[@bettilopez4327]

[@philwalsh8975]

Finn Balor is a bigger draw than MJF

[@HoneyBearLife]

Hornswoggle is a bigger draw than MJF

[@johnnytheworldowner9130]

it would make sense. I mean if Rey is going up against a heel faction, bring back up. This could lead to some really awesome matches.

[@paladynius]

You think they should do Dom & Priest vs Rey & Escobar at WM. I think it can go with Rey/Dom until SummerSlam to have their 1v1

[@paladynius]

Or can they have Kross also and have an actual trios match, With Priest/Kross/Dom vs Rey/Escobar/ and a third that's someone who can be helped just for being in this at WM. Kross is helped being part of this for his character going forward. Have Dragon Lee as the 3rd. It could help a few others being the 3rd as a face. Have Mustafa Ali, and he turns heel on Escobar.. great matches for 2 guys that need that spark and hope this feud finds it. have Bron Breaker debut on main roster at WM. Keep it a mystery if it's a legend for the match. Have Rey/Dom not really touch, have Kross win it on the Legend, have a match for Kross at next PPV, and allow the desire for Rey to truly teach Dom who Papi is at SummerSlam.

[@KeepinIt100OFFICIAL]

@@paladynius absolutely not. Rey vs Dominik is the match to have.

[@paladynius]

@@KeepinIt100OFFICIAL obviously. Just trying to get some other boys on the card

[@johnnytheworldowner9130]

@@paladynius for the story, I think it's got to be Rey vs Dominik. It could be, in a way, like Owen vs Bret from Mania 10. (what a banger that match was, I gotta go watch it tonight)

good stuff from Escobar.... hes sussed out you dont have to do loads of lucha moves to have a great match and he tells good stories in the ring.

as we head into WrestleMania, we're starting to see the flaws in Triple H's booking. He has so many wrestlers on the roster right now and likely around 60% of them will have nothing to do at WrestleMania.

Who remembers Eric Escobar dating Vickie Guerrero in WWE in 2009 and he always got zero reaction from the crowd which is why he didn't last long at all.

[@KeepinIt100OFFICIAL]

[@paladynius]

To find a replacement Rey, first Rey's gotta retire, and second push Mexican talents so that fans and live crowds can get behind them naturally.

[@KeepinIt100OFFICIAL]

stay tuned

[@Wolflynx07]

Hmm

[@whisperienced]

this moment was a bit flat for me because Escobar has been a heel the whole time. Could have been a great wrestlemania moment.

[@Shisui5752]

This was a good first step to turn him face. Why would they do it in Wrestlemania, when we know it would be forgotten/overshadowed by a bigger story.

[@markmann5539]

has it been confirmed yet that Aleistar Black & Buddy Murphy were supposed to be added to Judgement Day before Tony Khan backed out of their agreement?
