WWE is reportedly making major change in Legado Del Fantasma before SmackDown - Reports

WWE is reportedly making some major changes to Legado Del Fantasma before their imminent debut on SmackDown.

Legado Del Fantasma has been one of the biggest stables in the history of the NXT. In 2020, Santos Escobar created a stable with Joaquin Wilde and Raul Mendoza, who helped Escobar become the WWE NXT Cruiserweight Champion.

They later added Electra Lopez to the mix and feuded with the likes of Karrion Kross and Jordan Devlin before losing the title to Kushida. Earlier this year, Escobar and the gang started feuding with Tony D'Angelo and ended up joining their stable before leaving the brand:

According to a new report from PWInsider, Electra Lopez might not be joining the group on SmackDown. The report also states that she was not seen with any members of the group before SmackDown. Another report said Zelina Vega was pitched as a possible replacement for Lopez.

“Lopez was originally slated to be at TV tonight but we are told that over the last 24 hours, creative changed and she is not in MA. As of today, she is not slated to be with the group going forward even though she exited WWE NXT with them from a storyline standpoint.”
