WWE brought SmackDown to Columbus, Ohio this week. That was quite a show, and it included a big surprise in the first half-hour as fans saw a shocking heel turn.

Ringside News has comprehensive coverage of WWE SmackDown this week. The company is bringing a huge show to Chicago for Survivor Series, and there are still a few matches to book.

During SmackDown this week, things went south for the LWO. Carlito and Bobby Lashley had a match, but then the stable started to crumble. This all started when Carlito accused Santos of helping Logan Paul out to win the US Title at Crown Jewel.

Santos Escobar had an issue with Carlito, and then Rey Mysterio stepped in to stop the friction in his faction. This is when Santos acted like he was leaving, but the turned around and took Mysterio out instead.

Santos Escobar then destroyed Rey Mysterio on the ring apron by pushing him into the ring post. Zelina Vega ran down as Santos was saying that this is all Mysterio’s fault.

Santos Escobar left the building right after that. When asked why he tuned on Rey Mysterio, he simply said, “Rey had it coming.” Then he hit the exit after that.

It appears that Santos Escobar is now a heel, and he is also apparently out of the LWO stable as well. Keep checking back with Ringside News for more.

I love pro wrestling and hate BS. These two things drive me. Years of experience in writing, journalism, and digging exclusive insider info for Ringside News. Worked in finance before realizing pro wrestling journalism made much less sense. Pro beachballs at pro wrestling shows, pro dives if someone catches, anti bullies, olives, and pineapples on pizza.
