Update on Santana and Ortiz in AEW
Added 2023-08-20 22:36:22 +0000 UTCA wrestler who has been out for over a year is ready to return to the ring.
Santana, who sustained a torn ACL in 2022 Blood & Guts match, has been out of action ever since. After a long social media absence, Santana recently returned and posted vignettes, but has yet to return to the ring. We confirmed that Santana is ready for an in ring return.
For those asking, we’re told that as of him being cleared for a return, he and Ortiz were still not on good terms. However, that had been the case for quite a while before the injury, and it’s not impossible that the two can work together again following his return.
Speaking of Ortiz – there’s plenty adding to the traction that could mean he’s planned for a spot on the Wembley AEW All In card. Ortiz was scheduled for a Limitless Wrestling show next weekend, but was pulled from the event. In following up, we were told it was due to an AEW related obligation. There are several wrestlers not booked for the card that are being sent to the UK, but we’ve also heard of plenty that aren’t.
Comments
Konnan said it was due to their different perspectives. He said Ortiz was chill and happy getting paid even if he thought they weren’t being used, Santana wanted to do something about it. He also said allegedly Santana and Eddie Kingston almost came to blows over the whole thing.

2023-08-20 23:25:44 +0000 UTCSantana and Ortiz were able to work together before the injury even though they're on bad terms, but CM Punk throws people out backstage if they've even mildly annoyed him with innocuous comments they've made in the past.

2023-08-20 23:15:27 +0000 UTCI think the reason was one of them wanted to be a singles wrestler while the other wanted to stay a tag team? I could be completely wrong here but I vaguely remember hearing something along those lines

2023-08-20 22:48:47 +0000 UTCHopefully they work their stuff out. Both have way more to gain from being a tag team than operating as separate entities.
