In an exciting episode of WWE SmackDown that aired on January 19, Santos Escobar's squad finally unveiled their new faction name while facing off against their former rivals, the LWO.

The team, consisting of Santos Escobar, Humberto, and Angel, reintroduced themselves as 'Legado Del Fantasma', paying homage to Escobar's previous NXT faction. However, this time, they are joined by an entirely new tag team.

Meanwhile, the remaining members of the NXT version of LDF, Joaquin Wilde and Cruz del Toro, teamed up with Carlito to take on the trio. They competed under the banner of the Latino World Order, refusing to let go of their past association.

Zelina Vega, who was still part of the LWO squad, sparked speculation about her future as it is rumored that she may have a new client to manage soon. With rumors of Andrade el Idolo's return to WWE, it is believed that Zelina could reunite with her former client. This potential development has raised questions about the future of the LWO and who will replace Zelina in their ranks.

In other news, there are indications that Elektra Lopez, following the disbanding of her tag team with Lola Vice on NXT, is being groomed for a potential call-up to the main roster. Lopez has had multiple dark matches ahead of Raw in recent weeks, suggesting that WWE is considering her for a promotion. However, there is also speculation that she may instead join Santos Escobar's group as a new addition.

On a separate note, WWE fans witnessed the return of a familiar face during the episode. Pete Dunne, formerly known as BUTCH, made his comeback with a renewed (old) name. Dunne's return adds an exciting twist to the SmackDown roster.
