The go-home edition of Friday Night SmackDown brought out a surprising alteration to the Survivor Series card by replacing Carlito with Dragon Lee in the match with a deceitful Santos Escobar. But it seems like it won’t be an easy deal for the 28-year-old to launch a serious threat to Escobar.

Escobar left LWO despite being the one to bring back the faction, but it looks like he could soon have a new stable of his own.

NXT tag team might come to Santos Escobar’s save at Survivor Series

Rey Mysterio bore another major betrayal as Escobar suddenly turned on him a few weeks ago. Escobar left the Hall of Famer with a brutal bruise, leaving him unable to fire back. But Carlito stood up for him and took up the challenge to fight Escobar at Survivor Series and it was confirmed but circumstances changed on the recent edition of SmackDown. Escobar brutally assaulted Carlito outside the ring and backstage, leaving him unable to compete at Survivor Series. Dragon Lee made the save for him tonight in the face of a vicious Escobar assault and ended up replacing an injured Carlito for the Survivor Series match.

Lee’s bout against Escobar will mark his debut match at a WWE Premium Live Event. However, the latest rumors mills suggested Escobar could get leverage against his opponent getting the former tag team Los Lotharios on his board.
