Santos Escobar sends a crucial message to his fellow faction members following recent failure
Santos Escobar had a backstage talk with Legado Del Fantasma following their recent failure in a gauntlet match. This was a crucial message to help them get back on track.
Last week on SmackDown, Berto and Angel of Legado Del Fantasma were in the Gauntlet match and were eliminated by Apollo Crews and Baron Corbin. Santos addressed this tonight and first pointed out the loss to Berto and Angel before reframing his sentence and saying, "Our failure."
He said it didn't define their potential and hyped all his fellow faction members up before his match against Apollo Crews.
That speech paid dividends as Berto and Angel's presence helped steer off Baron Corbin, leading to Santos Escobar beating Apollo Crews.
This was a huge boost in morale. What went unnoticed by most is that during the above-mentioned backstage interaction, Santos' ire was directed towards Berto while Angel gave a sly smirk in the background.
It was a huge win for not just Santos but all of Legado Del Fantasma heading into SummerSlam 2024. Santos, in particular, had his momentum die down a lot this year, but he's looking to change his fortunes in a big way.
