Reason behind WWE debuting Legado Del Fantasma without Elektra Lopez on the main-roster possibly revealed

Elektra Lopez
Triple H is not slowing down anytime soon and his obsession for introducing various factions on the main-roster is quite visible now. Zelina Vega showed up on Smackdown but now messing around with girls as she was supposed to do, instead she returned alongside the debuting Legado Del Fantasma.
Those who aren’t aware, LDF was an important part of NXT 2.0 where they emerged out as a chaotic group. The logo for them is a combination of two iconic factions viz. The New World Order and Latino World Order resembling it as an attractive sight to behold. Their leader, Santos Escobar is a former 1-time NXT Cruiserweight Champion.
Other members of the group included Joaquin Wilde, Cruz Del Toro and Elektra Lopez but that female representative changed upon the group’s main-roster promotion. As per Dave Meltzer, there were plans for Lopez to continue with the stable on Smackdown too and had a flight booked for her destined to Worcester, the site of Season Premiere of the blue brand.
The only reason which led to Elektra’s exclusion from Legado Del Fantasma was doubt over her making a perfect opponent for B-Fab as we already saw how the group targeted Hit Row upon their arrival. WWE preferred Zelina Vega over Elektra Lopez as the perfect fit for these Latinos.
Does Ledago Del Fantasma possess that “it” factor?
Although, we haven’t seen enough of LDF on the bigger stage as they’ve just entered the room. Wilde and Toro faced their old rivals Hit Row on Smackdown last night and secured an impressive victory. We’ll see for how long they’re going to present Del Fantasma as legit threat to everyone.
WWE doesn’t hold an brilliant history when it comes to the perfect handling of factions in recent years. Under Triple H, there seems to be a lot of groups developing across Raw and Smackdown and fans are honestly loving this new standard of multi-men groups. On am ending note, it can be said that there can’t be a better man than Hunter himself to present these guys any better.
