Santana & Ortiz
AEW

Hotly tipped as one of the best tag teams in the world and a shrewd pick-up or All Elite Wrestling, the renamed Proud & Powerful never ascended beyond the point they were at on the very first Dynamite.

Sh*tkicking sidekicks of Chris Jericho simply until they weren't, an excommunication from the former Inner Circle leader after the stable's demise seemingly marked the end for them as a unit full stop. Ortiz is stuck in midcard hell while it's been speculated on that Santana won't return to AEW when he's recovered from an injury sustained during June's Blood & Guts showdown.
