He had previously been written off TV with an attack from Santos Escobar on the November 10, 2023 episode, with Mysterio needing time away to recover from an injury.

Speaking on the SmackDown LowDown following his return, Mysterio noted that he felt like he had to return to help Carlito, and send a message to Escobar.

He explained:

“This is a solid team. This is family, familia. And there was no way I was gonna leave Carlito alone today.

“Even though family is always here and present, this is only the beginning to what’s to come for Santos Escobar. I can’t stand this.

Sharing a heartfelt message for the Latino World Order, Mysterio added:
