Santana and Ortiz made their returns to AEW Dynamite this week to attack Eddie Kingston and Penta El Zero Miedo. Wednesday’s show saw the Ortiz come out following Jon Moxley’s win over Rey Fenix and preventing Kingston and Penta from making a save. Santana then came out and helped Ortiz beat the two down.
Santana’s return comes after a year out of action, while Ortiz last competed for AEW in March at Revolution. Santana posted to Twitter after the return, writing (per Fightful):
“To say that I knew what the road ahead of me was going to be like when I got hurt, would be totally false. The struggles and battles I’ve overcome to get back to what I love and have dedicated my life to is unimaginable. But the most important thing was that it taught me so much about myself and made me a 10x better person than who I was. I’m thankful that everything from the last 3 and half years happened the way they did. It needed to. Everything from losing my father, to unhappiness at work, to personal struggles, and everything in between. I’m thankful for all those things. They forced me to face me. To look in the mirror and learn to love/appreciate the person looking back. My story will be told eventually. I just want to enjoy this moment that I’ve worked so damn hard to get to. Thanks to EVERYONE who ever reached out. Every message from the fans. All the support from my family. Those who were there during my darkest days. I’II forever be grateful for all of you. NOW LETS GET TO WORK!”
