The ongoing rivalry between the Latino World Order (LWO) and Legado Del Fantasma took center stage once again as WWE Superstar Carlito clashed with Santos Escobar on the latest episode of Friday Night SmackDown.
Following a setback against Rey Mysterio and Andrade at WrestleMania 40, Santos Escobar was determined to strike back at LWO by securing a victory over Carlito on this week’s show.
The match kicked off with Carlito asserting dominance, driving Santos into the corner with a flurry of punches and following up with a punishing boot.
However, Santos Escobar swiftly turned the tables, unleashing his signature double knees and an enzuigiri that rocked Carlito. Despite the onslaught, Carlito demonstrated resilience, refusing to succumb.
As the intensity escalated, both competitors exchanged brutal strikes, with Carlito delivering a thunderous running knee and lariat, only for Santos to defiantly kick out.
In a pivotal moment, ringside presence Elektra Lopez and Zelina Vega became entangled in the fray. Lopez’s attack on Vega created a diversion, allowing Santos to capitalize.
Seizing the opportunity amidst the chaos, Santos executed The Phantom Driver, securing a crucial victory by crotching Carlito on the bottom rope.
With the WWE Draft looming next week, speculation abounds regarding the future trajectory of Santos Escobar and Legado Del Fantasma. Fans eagerly await what’s next for these formidable factions as they navigate the shifting WWE.
