The excitement was palpable when WWE Universe witnessed the semi-finals for the prestigious US Title on Friday Night SmackDown. Santos Escobar was against the former WWE Champion, Bobby Lashley. Escobar was able to pick up the win through a roll-up pinfall. He achieved this feat via a distraction caused by the ringside turmoil.

The chaos was an organized intervention by the Los Lotharios, who decided to attack the Street Profits. They laid down Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins through their precise strikes, making the All-Mighty anxious about their well-being. Santos seized the opportunity as he gave an enzugiri and rolled Lashley to advance himself to the finals.

They made their shocking return after spending nearly 6 months in NXT where they tried to write their story of redemption. It seems the goals of Escobar and Los Lotharios have united.

In what we do specifically, you got to be good at cutting promos. Why? Because it's important to share whatever it is, the storyline, whatever it is your feeling, with the audiences. I will keep on doing, is get myself better, keep learning, keep growing, keep becoming a better instrument so that when they write these things, I'm there.
