Anything can happen when you watch Friday Night SmackDown and last week fans witnessed a major heel turn. Santos Escobar turned on Rey Mysterio when he attacked his mentor and Mysterio was written off TV.
Rey Mysterio later confirmed that he underwent knee surgery this week and it’s expected that he’ll be out of action for 6 to 8 weeks. Even though Rey is set to be sidelined for a while it seems that WWE already has plans for his return.
Dave Meltzer recently addressed the Rey Mysterio situation on Wrestling Observer Radio and he noted that right now the plan is for Mysterio and Escobar to kick off a group vs. group feud when Rey returns.
“The idea is it’s gonna be group vs group. It’s gonna be Santos with partners against Rey with partners.
“I don’t know what they’re going to do with the LWO name, which side gets it. Maybe they’re gonna feud over the name even, I don’t know.
“But it’s gonna be a group vs group thing, and obviously Carlito will be with Rey, and Santos will be with, at least right now, Cruz and Joaquin. I don’t know where Zelina’s going. So that’s the situation there.”
