Santos Escobar Knows That When The Time Comes, Rey Mysterio Will Grant Him A Shot At The US Title

Santos Escobar is confident that his friend will grand him a shot at the US Title that he had already earned.

Earlier this month, Rey Mysterio captured the WWE United States Championship from Austin Theory after Theory made it impossible for Santos Escobar to compete after multiple sneak attacks.

Speaking on Babyfaces radio, Escobar was asked if he would step in the ring with Mysterio with the championship on the line.

“Absolutely, yes. We already went at it just to get an opportunity at this title. Now that he holds the title, the one thing I know for sure is that he will give me an opportunity when the time comes. I’m not ready to compete right now because of Austin Theory, and before I go for the title, I would like to repay Austin in kind,” 

“I’m not cleared to compete right now as it is, because of Austin Theory, but trust me, my mind, my heart are strong. I’m a strong willed person. I will comeback. When I comeback, I will come back full steam,”

We will have to wait and see what’s next for Mysterio’s title reign.
