AEW star Santana competed in the gruesome Blood and Guts match and it was during this match he sustained a knee injury. He was immediately taken out of the bout. That has kept him on the shelf and as it seems, he is unlikely to return anytime soon.
Santana could be sidelined for a long time
AEW President Tony Khan recently provided an update on the injury. In a recent interview with Busted Open Radio, he confirmed the injury. He stated that They knew injuries were a possibility heading into this match because it was quite risky.
Here is what he stated:
“So, he is injured and it’s unfortunate and obviously, it’s a very dangerous match, and going into it we knew injuries were a possibility and Santana’s a great pro wrestler, he’s been part of a great team with Ortiz. We really value him and I did speak to him after, I know he’s injured, we’re going to stand by Santana, you know, support him through the injury and do what we can, it’s the right thing to do.
Of course, hopefully, it won’t be too long but I think it could be a relatively long injury, so, it could be a while that Santana is out but we’re here for him for whatever he needs and certainly appreciate everything he’s done for AEW.
It is unfortunate that the Blood & Guts match does come with injuries, and it was a knee injury that he suffered, and hopefully he’ll be back relatively soon.”
We will now have to wait and see when he is able to make his comeback. We wish speedy recovery for Santana.
