10 Shocking AEW Behind The Scenes Revelations

As a tag team, Santana and Ortiz are one of the very best tandems in the world. Unfortunately though, it looks as if this pairing is now well and truly over.

Of course, right now Santana is on the shelf as he recovers from reconstructive knee surgery for an ACL injury he suffered in the Blood and Guts match on a June 2022 episode of Dynamite. While there's been no update on how the hugely talented 32-year-old is doing in his recovery, initial reports from last year noted how he could be out of action for a full year.

Still, prior to that injury, there were plentiful rumblings that all was not well between the Pride & Powerful pairing.

Having been teaming together as far back as 2012, the duo apparently butted heads early last year due to how they were being used by AEW. Well, more specifically, how they weren't particularly being used by AEW. As noted by their former LAX mentor Konnan, the long-time partners fell out because Santana was frustrated at Pride & Powerful not being used much at that time, whilst Ortiz was happy with that situation as they were still getting paid and looked after by AEW.

Additionally, K-Dawg even revealed that this situation got so heated that Eddie Kingston became involved and things nearly got physical between the Mad King and Santana.

For Santana, last July saw him take to Twitter to say "[he'll] speak soon.

As it stands, that's the most recent tweet the star has posted.
