A major new faction has formed on tonight's SmackDown taping, leading to an incredible upset.
Santos Escobar surprised everyone when he turned on Rey Mysterio a couple of weeks ago. To make matters worse, he injured the Hall of Famer and took him out of action. He then didn't stop there as he also took out his Legado Del Fantasma stablemates.
Since then, Santos Escobar has not looked back in his quest to win championship gold. He was announced as part of the United States Championship Tournament a couple of weeks ago. Escobar won his first match against Dragon Lee and was set to face Bobby Lashley in the tournament's second round.
