Mysterio called what Santos did to him his most memorable moment of 2023. 

“That’s a very easy question to answer. Unfortunately, what Santos did to me, at the same time, you know, it’s something that has occurred to me on several occasions throughout my longevity of being in the WWE. For some reason, I keep on picking the wrong partners, but things will be told when the time is right,” he said. “That alignment, I kinda saw it coming once Santos stabbed me in the back. I don’t sweat it, I got my people, I have my crew, I have people that I really trust. Things will be taken care of sooner than later.”
