WrestleMania is only a few days away and some of the biggest names in the industry are in Las Vegas for WrestleMania week. Unfortunately a number of stars are missing WrestleMania week due to injury, and now another name has been added to the list.
It was reported last month that Santos Escobar had to undergo surgery due to a tricep injury, and Escobar confirmed today that he will be missing WrestleMania week as he’s set to undergo surgery once again. Escobar was originally being advertised for photo ops and autograph signings at WWE World on Friday, April 17th.
“Hey familia, this is the Emperor of Lucha Libre, Santos Escobar, with a quick update on WrestleMania week. As you probably already know, I went through tricep surgery. There was a minor hiccup on the road with my ulnar nerve, a nerve that runs through my arm. So, I’m gonna have to go and do surgery again to repair that situation. Kills me not to be there with you this week, but to all of my WWE family, happy WrestleMania week.”

Santos Escobar last stepped into the ring on 3/14 when he faced off against El Grande Americano, La Parka and Original El Grande Americano in a four way match at AAA Rey De Reyes. His performance in the match quickly became a hot topic on social media, but it was later reported that he was injured going into the show, and the injury was aggravated during the match.
