There are several stars on the SmackDown brand who are trying to take their career to the next level and Santos Escobar happens to be one of them. Since turning heel Escobar has been walking his own path and he’s also been getting more time on the microphone.
Santos recently spoke to Freddie Prinze Jr. on his Wrestling With Freddie podcast and he was asked what 2024 has in store for him. Escobar noted that he plans to continue mastering his craft while also explaining that he feels the freedom WWE has been giving him is paying off.
“I think it’s important to master your instrument in what we do; specifically, you have to be good at cutting promos. Why? It’s important to share, whatever the storyline and whatever you’re feeling, with the audience so they can relate or not, but more importantly understand, which is why I did what I did in LA. (Go to) Hollywood, train my acting, become better at it.
“Of course, I do not have the pen and I do not write the storyline, but what I can do, and what I’ve been trying to do and what I will keep on doing, is get myself better. Keep learning, keep growing, keep becoming a better instrument so that when they write these things, I’m there. I haven’t missed one important show in the year, and this is my first year on the main roster. I’m thankful.
“I hope that I get more, but I’m already doing a lot of stuff that I wasn’t doing six months ago. They’re giving me a lot of freedom, and all this effort that I’m putting into it, it’s paying off, and I’m just glad it’s happening. Right now, the storyline is what it is, and I love it, and I have the opportunity to show more of what I got and hopefully we’ll get to WrestleMania.”
