The world of professional wrestling is abuzz with anticipation as one of the most formidable tag teams in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) history, Santana and Ortiz, are potentially poised to make their much-anticipated return to the ring.
Santana, one-half of the dynamic duo, has been on the sidelines for a while now. Fans were disheartened when he suffered an ACL tear during the intense Blood & Guts 2022 match.
However, the latest report from Fightful Select suggests that Santana has fully recovered and is cleared to return to action: “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.”

Ortiz’s AEW Commitments
Ortiz, the other half of the tag team, has also been making headlines. He was initially scheduled to appear at a Limitless Wrestling event during the All In 2023 weekend.
However, in a surprising turn of events, Ortiz was pulled from the show. Speculations were rife, but it has now been revealed that the reason for this sudden change was due to an AEW-related obligation.
This has further fuelled the rumours of the tag team’s imminent return.
