Report: Santana Expected To Be Ready For AEW Return Soon​

stream


Santana has been sidelined for nearly a year, as he went down with a torn ACL during the Blood and Guts match on the June 29, 2022, episode of AEW Dynamite. Fightful Select recently reported that he is still with AEW, and the company has continued to pay him throughout his absence.

Santana has been absent from in-ring action for almost an entire year, with the tag team specialist suffering a knee injury during a Blood and Guts match with the Jericho Appreciation Society on June 6th, 2022.

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer reports that Santana is going to be ready to return soon. He noted that, given the reported falling out between Santana and Ortiz, it's unclear where he'll slot in once he comes back.

In recent months, Ortiz has not competed frequently on AEW TV; he hasn't wrestled on AEW programming since the Face of the Revolution Ladder Match on the March 1 episode of AEW Dynamite. He also lost to Brian Cage on the April 6 episode of ROH on HonorClub, and he hasn't wrestled since.

Fightful will provide more information as it becomes available.

I hope he worked shit out with Ortiz, they would be a massive boon to the already thriving tag team division, and from a personal view: I legit really like this dude, he's got great swagger and is great at emoting. I miss him

the fact that PNP might never be tag champs is saddening and one of the biggest travesties in AEW. I do think it is a compelling story if Eddiie got them back together and the three won trios title

Timing is everything in wrestling, but I can't disagree with you on this one.

I have said it probably 10 times in the last few years. Santana and Ortiz should have been inaugural champions OR should have won the belts after the Best Friends feud. Mostly they first though, I think it would have set them up for their whole career in AEW , and it did absolutely nothing for the belts or Daniels n Co to be champs.

Really hype to see him return always loved his personality and his skills in the Ring. I need Santana and Ortiz to get those Tag Titles and start rolling.
