Overview
- Cageside Seats reported Escobar shared hospital-bed images on Thursday, indicating the surgery took place after earlier reports he was scheduled for March 19.
- Fightful Select first reported the torn tricep and surgery plan, with Newsweek and other outlets corroborating the details.
- The injury traces back to an NXT house show in late January during work with El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr., before deteriorating in AAA competition.
- Escobar wrestled through the issue in AAA’s Rey de Reyes, where a Wagner Jr. chair shot and interference factored into his elimination as the tear worsened.
- Recovery is expected to last several months, likely keeping him out through the summer, and online speculation about his WWE release was refuted.
