NXT Cruiserweight Champion El Hijo del Fantasma has joined forces with Raul Mendoza and Jaquin Widle to form a new stable.

During Wednesday’s episode of NXT on USA, Fantasma unmasked and revealed his new name.

During the segment, Drake Maverick was congratulating Fantasma for his Cruiserweight title win on last week’s episode. Two masked men interrupted the segment, and it appeared Fantasma and Maverick were joining forces to fend them off. Fantasma then turned on Maverick, and all three men delivered a beatdown.

Fantasma then unmasked, and stated his name is now Santos Escobar, and stood alongside Wilde and Mendoza.
