After wrestling for several years in his home country of Mexico, Escobar signed with the Stamford-based company in 2019. He spent about three years in developmental before making his main roster debut alongside his Legado Del Fantasma teammates last October on SmackDown. The 39-year-old is now a member of Rey Mysterio's newly reformed Latino World Order.
In a recent interview on Booker T's Hall of Fame podcast, Escobar spoke about his goals in WWE. The former Cruiserweight Champion stated that he wants to main-event WrestleMania and win the World Heavyweight Championship.
