"Dragon Lee vs. Santos Escobar"

As a Lucha Libre AAA fan this one peekd my interest.

I'm out of the loop, usually I only watch WWE PPVs, partially because they do such a good job presenting the backstory of each match I don't feel like I have to watch the weekly show.

Last I recall both of these fellows were on NXT. Is this a pre-show match? I had stopped watching the pre-show as they present the same info during the PPV, but this would be worth tuning in for.

I was very disappointed by the number of times that either team celebrated their success rather than taking advantage of the situation, not the least being Lynch/Flair hug in the middle of the match

Escobar used to be Hijo de Fantasmo, no?

Yep. Also King Cuerno in Lucha Underground if you watched that!

I'm a non-WWE watcher also but from what I can tell the Dragon Lee / Escobar match is part of the PPV card. Apparently it was supposed to be Carlito instead of Dragon Lee but the former was "attacked" on Smackdown and is too hurt to wrestle.

@TellumSiege @n7gifmdn sounds like a better choice than Carlito to me!
