WWE Women's Champion Nia Jax, Women's Tag Team Champion Jade Cargill, Stu Bennett, Raquel Rodriguez, Natalya, and Blair Davenport, were among the many WWE Superstars who wished Elektra Lopez on her wedding anniversary.

Elektra Lopez joined Santos Escobar's Legado Del Fantasma in August 2021 and served as the group's manager. When they moved to SmackDown, though, she was left behind in NXT. Zelina Vega had replaced her on the main roster. On January 26, 2024, Lopez re-joined Escobar and Co.

Taking to Instagram, Elektra shared a personal update. It is her wedding anniversary. The picture seen below is with her husband, fitness trainer Erik Santiago:

Here are some reactions from the 32-year-old's peers:

The couple have a major age gap — she is reportedly 26 years his junior. Upon marriage, she became the stepmother to Erik Santiago's daughter. Santiago himself is no stranger to WWE, as he has previously worked as a private security guard for Brock Lesnar, and holds a close relationship with The Beast, as well as The Undertaker.

Between late 2022 and throughout 2023, Zelina Vega was one of the most prominently featured members of Legado Del Fantasma. During this time, WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio also formed a close alliance with the group and re-formed the LWO while Santos Escobar took a backseat.

That was until November 2023, when Escobar turned on the luchador, and divided his crew from Mysterio's Latino World Order. Vega sided with the Hall of Famer as a result.

Reflecting on becoming part of Legado Del Fantasma by replacing Elektra Lopez upon the group's move to the main roster on the Out of Character podcast, Zelina Vega stated that she had no idea why the higher-ups arrived at this decision. However, she joked that Elektra would want revenge on her:

"They [Legado Del Fantasma] had been with Elektra [Lopez] previously. I have no idea how or why or what happened there. [...] I mean, she might be super p*ssed at me and wanna come and hit me and then there’s gonna be a whole thing there but I don’t know."

The two teams ended their rivalry after LWO moved to Monday Night RAW on account of the 2024 WWE Draft. Legado Del Fantasma has since been used only sporadically on SmackDown.
