WWE has a lot of intellectual property that they can use, and the NWO is their to use as much as they please. The company also owns the LWO name, but a Latino World Order has yet to be revived just yet. Apparently, it was under consideration during a time.
Lucha Libre Online recently spoke to Kalisto about his time in WWE and the former Lucha House Party member revealed something very interesting. During his interview, translated from Spanish, Kalisto said that there were rumors of WWE forming a legit LWO stable, but it obviously never came to pass.
“I believe that there was never a moment. It would have been perfect after the picture we took in Saudi Arabia where we had Sin Cara, Humberto, and Cain Velasquez, and that’s my boy right there. I think someone did pitch it at some point, but I was not sure on whether it was only for T-shirts or if there was an agreement in booking the faction, but I constantly heard rumors saying that it was going to happen and I was like ‘ok, let’s see what happens.’ It did not materialize, but it would have been really cool, especially after my web promos where I threw jabs at Rey and company after I had their blessings to do so. It never happened because creative had their focus on certain people and it was always going to be difficult to fight for airtime on TV.”
The LWO stable could have been very popular, if treated better than the Lucha House Party and Mexicools before them. We’ll never know how WWE would have treated this stable, but Dominik Mysterio’s recent post certainly seemed to give weight to the idea that the desire to form the LWO in WWE is still present.
