Santos Escobar reacts to crazy move after injury scare during tonight's WWE Live Event at Madison Square Garden
WWE Superstar Santos Escobar took to Twitter to react to a crazy moment during the Intercontinental Championship match tonight at Madison Square Garden.
Gunther put his title on the line in a Ladder match tonight at the WWE Live Event. The Ring General successfully defended against Escobar, Kofi Kingston, Madcap Moss, and Shinsuke Nakamura.
He most recently defeated SmackDown World Cup winner Ricochet on the blue brand to retain the championship, but will likely have to deal with Braun Strowman in the weeks ahead. Braun battled Ricochet in the semifinals of the SmackDown World Cup but came up short due to interference from Imperium.
A wrestling fan posted a crazy spot from tonight's WWE Live Event at Madison Square Garden on Twitter. In the video, Santos and former Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura are battling on a ladder in the middle of the ring. Escobar jumped off the ladder and sent Nakamura flying to the canvas with an incredible Hurricanrana.
The 38-year-old retweeted the post with the caption "Lucha Libre".
"Lucha. Libre. 👊🏽☠️🇲🇽," tweeted Santos Escobar.
