The last time fans saw the aforementioned faction was on WWE NXT when Escobar was forced to leave the brand following his loss to Tony D'Angelo. As the star left, he asked his faction members to also join him on his way out. On tonight's SmackDown, Hit Row made its way to the ring but was stopped mid-way by three people wearing Lucha masks. The trio attacked Hit Row and revealed themselves to be Legado Del Fantasma. They did not come alone, as former Queen of the Ring Zelina Vega also joined the faction.

Santos Escobar was formerly known as El Hijo Del Fantasma. He won a tournament to be crowned the interim NXT Cruiserweight Champion by defeating Drake Maverick. After the match, Del Fantasma removed his mask and announced that he was Santos Escobar. It is to be noted that both Cruz Del Toro (f.k.a. Raul Mendoza) and Joaquin Wilde helped Escobar win the title.

They have wrestled Hit Row in NXT as well. Escobar had a long-term feud with Hit Row's former leader Isaiah 'Swerve' Scott, over the NXT North American Title and Cruiserweight Championship.
