WWE is known for having superstars make surprise appearances. Recently, several main roster stars have been featured on the company's developmental brand NXT in surprise appearances. LWO member and SmackDown star Santos Escobar also returned during the latest edition of the show to help out The D'Angelo Family.
The LWO member showed up after The D'Angelo Family was attacked by Gallus at the start of the show. The Don teased bringing an old friend to even the odds. The mystery partner turned out to be Santos Escobar, who was last seen on the brand on August 16, 2022.
Escobar was introduced to the NXT crowd ahead of the main event, which saw D'Angelo, Lorenzo & the LWO member, get the better of Gallus. The crowd was on their feet during the bout and chanted "Welcome back" to Escobar in unison.
