Santana and Ortiz were one of AEWs top tag teams but they had been on bad terms for quite a while. Santana eventually left AEW and Ortiz remains absent from AEW but fans have been wondering what their relationship is like now. While speculation continues, Ortiz has now revealed his current relationship with Santana.
While speaking on the Johnny I Pro show, Ortiz was asked about his current relationship with Santana after their past issues. He explained that if it hadnt been for Santana especially early in his career, he probably wouldnt have made it this far.
Back then, they depended on each other completely. Ortiz admitted that with the mindset he has now, he would be confident making it on his own but in his early twenties he was a different person.
Ortiz talked about how sharing the struggles brought them closer like the long 12-15 hour drives, being broke, splitting meals, figuring things out together, sleeping on floors and in cars. They were truly brothers in arms for a long time.
Ortiz believes that without Santana, and likewise without him for Santana, neither would have reached the heights they did in their careers. Now things are different and theyre each on their own separate paths, but he accepts it as just how life goes.
Mike Santana is currently thriving in TNA Wrestling and made appearances on NXT television while Ortiz has been away from AEW television and competed in indie events. Regardless, well have to see if they will ever reunite again somewhere down the line.
