Santos Escobar is expected to be out of action for several months. The WWE wrestler is scheduled to undergo surgery on Thursday to repair a torn tricep. Fightful.com reports that Escobar suffered the injury during a live event on January 30. He has only wrestled twice since then, including during Saturday’s AAA Rey de Reyes four-way final.
Powell’s POV: The hope was clearly that Escobar’s injury would heal without surgery. There has been some confusion over Escobar’s status with WWE because he is listed in the alumni section of the WWE website. He was reportedly moved to the alumni section when his deal expired last October, and was never moved back to the active listing after re-signing with WWE. The recovery time from tricep surgery is typically four to six months. Here’s wishing him the best with his surgery and recovery.
