10 WWE Wrestlers Triple H SAVED In 2022
4. Zelina Vega/Santos Escobar
Vinnie Mac's track record with NXT call-ups was always spotty at absolute best. Some, like Kevin Owens or Becky Lynch, worked out. Most? Well eh...most were promoted then bizarrely stripped of everything that made them excellent on the third brand. It was so weird to watch WWE do this time and time again.
Santos Escobar might've been the latest victim had Vince still been around when he leapt onto the SmackDown scene in October. Meanwhile, new Legado del Fantasma spokeswoman Zelina Vega probs would've had to suffer the indignity of another failed singles push in the women's division.
Remember that ghastly 'Queen' business? Oh what could've been.
The entire Fantasma faction, reworked or not, would've struggled under McMahon. This writer is very confident in theorising that, because Santos and pals just don't have many attributes Vince looked for in talent over the years. The dreaded "too small" line might even have been blurted.
They should be relieved that Hunter is at the helm.
