When it comes to champions in NXT, few carry themselves like Santos Escobar. He’s raised the status of the NXT Cruiserweight Championship, and finally got it on an NXT Takeover event. Especially with Joaquin Wilde & Raul Mendoza at his back, he might be unstoppable. Tonight on NXT, he’d take to the ring to brag about his accomplishments, and remind everyone why he’s the best champion on the brand
Santos Escobar Claims To Be The Champion Of Champions
Santos Escobar would call himself a true champion, the champion of champions! He would let everyone know what a true champion does. They don’t need to break curses like Johnny Gargano does, or have a glass jaw like Finn Balor does. A true champion doesn’t need pomp and circumstance like Karrion Kross, who didn’t even get to defend when he became NXT Champion.
Escobar backs up every last word that he says, and has beaten everyone set in front of him. Even Gran Metalik and Lince Dorado came back to NXT to stop him, but were unable to defeat Escobar. Raul Mendoza & Joaquin Wilde are one win into a successful tournament, and one step closer to becoming NXT Tag Team Champions.
He Forgot All About Curt Stallion
After winning their match against Imperium earlier in the night, Lince Dorado & Gran Metalik rushed the ring and took the fight to Santos Escobar. They would quickly be outnumbered three to two, and Dorado was set to be eliminated by Escobar as he climbed the top rope.
However, Escobar forgot about the one man that he has yet to defeat. The number one contender he’s been avoiding, Curt Stallion. Stallion rushed the ring and was able to help the Lucha House Party even out the odds. Suddenly, Escobar remembers what is next for him, and now we’ll be on track for this next title defense.
Will Stallion be able to take the NXT Cruiserweight Championship from Santos Escobar? Let us know what you think in the comment section down below.
