Santos Escobar finally returned to WWE NXT along with the rest of Legado del Fantasma. The former NXT Cruiserweight Champion mocked Dexter Lumis and promised to knock out Isaiah 'Swerve' Scott and take his title away.

The match between Escobar and Lumis got underway soon after. Lumis used his usual tactics to scare his opponent early on. Joaquin Wilde and Raul Mendoza continued to help their leader throughout the match and even pulled him out of the Silence at one point.

The interference and distraction allowed Escobar to take control and deliver the Phantom Driver to pick up the win. After the match, Hit Row came out to confront Legado del Fantasma on the ramp.

Scott seemed confident and was not afraid to get in Santos Escobar’s face. The match was decent and gave Escobar the chance to make a big comeback.

Looks like Hit Row may have answered our question.#WWENXT @AJFrancis410 @swerveconfident @TheeAdonisWWE @BFabwwe @EscobarWWE @joaquinwilde_ @RaulMendozaWWE pic.twitter.com/A28so0GcLi

The idea of putting Legado del Fantasma up against Hit Row is a great one. While it was expected that Escobar would move to the main roster with his faction, it looks like the creative team has other plans.
