NXT Star Joins Faction In WWE SmackDown Debut

WWE

NXT star Elektra Lopez made her WWE SmackDown debut on tonight’s go-home edition ahead of the Royal Rumble 2024.

On tonight’s episode of WWE SmackDown, an NXT star joined a repackaged faction as an all out war between two groups in the future seems to be in the works.

In a match that was meant to feature Santos Escobar taking on Carlito, both sides had their whole squads at ringside.

With Humberto and Angel in the corner of Escobar, making up the new iteration of Legado del Fantasma, two men who used to be proteges of Escobar were on-hand as well.

Although now, Joaquin Wilde and Cruz del Toro are members of LWO alongside Zelina Vega who were at ringside to support Carlito.

With several distraction spots throughout, the warring stables were clearly struggling to co-exist, brawling at ringside with even a big dive off the top rope until finally a surprise appearance.

In the closing moments of the match, there was a surprise pop-up attack by NXT star Elektra Lopez on Zelina Vega.

Re-joining her former Legado leader Santos Escobar, Lopez’s distraction was effective as Santos picked up the victory over Carlito.

Legado Del Fantasma is now made up of Santos Escobar, Angel, Humberto and Elektra Lopez.
