Being brutally honest, this is one of 'Mania weekend's weakest bouts. Santos Escobar vs. Rey Mysterio seemed likely one-one-one, but WWE shot that load on SmackDown during Rey Rey's return. So, they've drafted in Dragon Lee and Dominik Mysterio to pad things out and hope for the best on the undercard.
There's no point in denying it - this could be a bit of a struggle.
Creative can still point to progress if Escobar scores a pin over his old mentor and they manage to make both Lee look good and script more father vs. son stuff between Rey and Dom too. The most important thing is Santos coming out looking like a bigger star than he was going in though. If not, then why even book this in the first place?
Nobody in the match needs this win more than Legado del Fantasma's leader. Lose, and he'll be right back where he started before leaving the LWO. Triumph, and he might just become WWE's next main event player yet. Fingers crossed, eh?
