5 directions for Santos Escobar after losing the WWE NXT Cruiserweight Championship

#3 Legado Del Fantasma splits up on WWE NXT television

Could Legado del fantasma be set to split up on WWE NXT television soon?

WWE NXT and 205 Live has seen Legado Del Fantasma become one of the most dominant factions in WWE over the past 12 months.

Led by Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde and Raul Mendoza have been front and center in assisting Escobar in retaining the WWE NXT Cruiserweight Championship on several separate occasions.

However, now that Santos Escobar has lost the Cruiseweight Championship to KUSHIDA, could cracks within the dominant faction begin to show?

The consummate heel, perhaps we could see a scenario whereby Santos Escobar blames his Legado Del Fantasma minions for not helping him retain or re-capture the NXT Cruiseweight Championship over the course of the next few weeks. This could lead to the faction splitting, with Joaquin Wilde and Raul Mendoza remaining as a tag team while Santos Escobar transitions into a singles star in the main event scene.

Whilst many in the WWE NXT Universe will not want to see a fantastic faction like Legado Del Fantasma split up, there is certainly past history that suggests that factions inside the WWE Universe unfortunately do not last that long.
