Santos Escobar has become one of the most protected stars in NXT since unmasking last year. He held the NXT Cruiserweight Championship for 313 days before losing the title to Kushida.
Now, Escobar has revealed what his goals for the future are. In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Escobar said his goals are to be the next great Mexican wrestler and to main event WrestleMania. Here is the quote:
“For me, I could be cruiserweight champion forever. I also want to be the next great Mexican wrestler. I want to be the main event of WrestleMania. To achieve that, I’m going to have to work extra hard to get there, and go through different moments, like the cruiserweight division.
Maybe next is the North American division. After that, maybe the NXT title division. Then Raw, then SmackDown. I’m never content with my position. I’m always trying to evolve and offer something different. The company sees something in me, and I just need to bring it.”
Santos Escobar is scheduled to challenge Kushida for the NXT Cruiserweight Championship tonight on NXT. The match comes after Escobar beat Kushida in a six-man tag match two weeks ago. Additionally, this match will be a Two out of Three Falls match.
