In an electrifying return to WWE SmackDown, Rey Mysterio did not just make an entrance; he delivered a message loud and clear. After a four-month hiatus due to injury, the revered WWE Hall of Famer made his presence felt in a way that only the Master of the 619 can. Mysterio’s comeback wasn’t just about returning to the ring; it was a declaration of war against former ally turned adversary, Santos Escobar.
The Return That Shook SmackDown
The latest episode of SmackDown was a tumultuous affair with the villainous antics of Legado del Fantasma taking center stage. Rey Mysterio, however, had other plans. Bursting onto the scene to save Dragon Lee and Carlito from a savage beating at the hands of Escobar and his cronies, Mysterio showcased he was back and ready for battle. His intervention was not just about saving fellow wrestlers; it was a statement to everyone watching. The LWO legend is not one to stand by when injustice unfolds.
In a backstage segment that followed the show, Rey didn’t mince words. “That’s what they do. They like to jump people when they’re alone and behind their backs. I threw the challenge out. Now, I’m just waiting for Santos to accept it. Santos, for so many months, kept bragging and bragging. ‘You and me, together, we are family.’ I’ll never forget that, and my knee will never forget that either. Next week, there’s gonna be a lot of payback,” he declared, sending a chilling warning to Escobar.
