LWO Wrestler Teases Future Additions To The Group
Following surprise appearances from former WWE Superstars, the LWO could be set to add new names to the group.
After more than two decades since the LWO was active, Rey Mysterio gifted Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde, Cruz Del Toro, and Zelina Vega LWO t-shirts during an emotional SmackDown at the end of March.
The new version of the Latino World Order was born and helped Rey secure a WrestleMania 39 win over his son Dominik Mysterio, and Bad Bunny gain a win over Damien Priest at Backlash.
During the Backlash event, the newly formed LWO gained extra members with Savio Vega and Carlito. According to one member of the faction, this might not be the last set of surprises the LWO has in order for WWE fans.

Santos Escobar spoke with Sportskeeda during the buildup to Saturday night’s Premium Live Event, and ahead of his Money In The Bank Ladder Match, Escobar suggested that another person could join the group.
“You see? That’s the thing. The LWO keeps bringing the surprises,”
“I’ll bring it back to Puerto Rico, Backlash. Bad Bunny, he’s huge; that’s just a token of what LWO means nowadays. We had Bad Bunny. We had Carlito. We had Savio Vega. We had everyone else.
So, to your question, can someone else join? Absolutely, yes. Who? Stay tuned.”
The “who” that Escobar is teasing could be Carlito, who is rumored to return to WWE as soon as this Friday’s Smackdown in New York City.
Santos Escobar was unsuccessful in his attempt to secure the Money In The Bank Briefcase, and the opportunity to challenge for a WWE Championship.
But his high-flying moves and performance were noted by a sold out London crowd that had created a unique chant for Escobar, based on a British television commercial.
Later in the evening, fellow LWO member Zelina Vega was also unsuccessful in securing a Championship contract. Iyo Sky won the Women’s Ladder Match after handcuffing Becky Lynch and Bayley to each other through a ladder. This allowed Sky to climb on the back of Bayley and secure the briefcase.
