To the other side. With so much television time to fill in WWE, it can be easy for some of the company’s stars to start feeling stale. At some point a change needs to be made and that can be accomplished in a few different ways. One of the easiest is to turn someone either from good to bad or vice versa, and it seems that we saw that take place earlier this week.

Following the February 10 SmackDown, WWE released a video of Santos Escobar and Rey Mysterio backstage after they both took part in a fatal four way. The two talked about respect and exchanged masks. This week, the two were backstage when Rhea Ripley and Rey’s son Dominik interrupted and insulted Rey. Escobar defended Rey and seemed to set up a match with Dominik. This would indicate that Escobar is moving further towards a full babyface turn, which would be a first in his WWE career. There is no word on what this would mean for the rest of Legado del Fantasma.
This seems to be something. Check out what Escobar has been doing lately:
Opinion: This is a different way to go and it’s something that could be intriguing. Escobar has all of the tools to be a star and if this is the way they are going, we could be in for something good. I’m not sure what this would mean for the rest of his team, but they are more than capable of splitting off as a regular tag team on their own. WWE might have something here and that’s a good sign for where this could be going.
What do you think of the change? How would it go for Escobar? Let us know in the comments below.
