Santos Escobar has shed his WWE identity and revealed the new name he will be going by.
Escobar (Jorge Luis Alcantar Bolly) was among many WWE releases three months ago, and his 90-day no-compete clause just expired.
Escobar has updated his X account using the name “Romeo Malverde” and included the caption, “Farewell, Emperor Santos. WELCOME, ROMEO MALVERDE”.
