This Friday, Santos Escobar will finally get his chance at the United States Title as he takes on mentor and LWO leader Rey Mysterio. The WWE Hall of Famer won the stars-and-stripes title after subbing for an injured Escobar, who had originally been slated to challenge Austin Theory just over a month ago. With outside forces such as Grayson Waller attempting to stir the pot, Escobar requested the match with Mysterio on the Sept. 15 episode of SmackDown. Which LWO member will leave with the gold?
The union between Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits might be on shaky ground. Just as the new trio was rolling, The Street Profits lost to U.S. Champion Rey Mysterio and Santos Escobar of The LWO. This enraged The All Mighty, who stormed out in disgust and demanded they hand back their suits that he bought. This Friday, Lashley joins “The Grayson Waller Effect.” How will Lashley respond to what happened between him and The Street Profits?
This Friday, Charlotte Flair and Bayley will reignite their storied rivalry as the two tangle in singles competition for the first time since 2020. This past week, Charlotte inadvertently cost Asuka the chance to win the WWE Women’s Title from IYO SKY, as Flair brawled with Damage CTRL’s Bayley. Bayley has a slight edge over Flair in singles competition, as she is 9-8 against The Queen of WWE. The last time these two squared off, Bayley gained the win in a matchup on Raw in May of 2020. Who will come out on top this time?
