WWE's planned new teammates for Santos Escobar revealed

Five matches have been announced for this weekend’s Survivor Series card, which will feature two WarGames bouts.
One of the other matches set to take place will see Carlito face off against Santos Escobar.
The latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter has revealed WWE’s latest plans for the evolution of this storyline.

Noting that as of the past week, Angel Garza and Humberto Carrillo were planned to join Escobar, Dave Meltzer wrote:
The other matches have Gunther vs. The Miz for the IC title, Rhea Ripley vs. Zoey Stark for the world women’s title and Carlito vs. Santos Escobar.
The latter match should involve some sort of tipping of the hand regarding who will be on Escobar’s side in the upcoming feud with a group led by Rey Mysterio & Carlito.
Angel Garza & Humberto Carrillo were planned for this at least as of the past week.

This comes after a report stating that Escobar and Mysterio will face off in a ‘group vs group‘ situation after Mysterio returns from injury.
It has also been reported that there had ‘definitely‘ been conversations about bringing Angel and Humberto into this storyline.

'Meltzer went on to outline more WWE plans for this LWO storyline, noting:
Regarding the LWO split, the original idea was for Wilde & Del Toro to stay with Escobar and feud with Rey & Carlito & a third person.
From TV that would make sense to be Dragon Lee, as the idea of Lee being the guy they are hoping can be a future Mysterio-style flying so aligning them doing the endorsement thing would make sense.
The Garzas are the ones who are scheduled at this point to replace Wilde & Del Toro on the Escobar side.
There’s speculation of Lopez, who was with Escobar in NXT, being on that side to feud with Vega but that is not at all confirmed.

Escobar vs Carlito will be Carlito’s first PPV/PLE singles match since 2007, and Escobar’s first ever singles PPV/PLE match on the main roster.
