Reported Plans For Mike Santana Following AEW Release

Mike Santana could be back on pro wrestling television again soon.

The former member of Proud ‘n’ Powerful was released by AEW earlier this month and has since made his hay on the independent wrestling scene. However, there has been expectation that the talented star could be landing with another wrestling promotion soon enough.

Fightful Select is reporting that TNA is planning to bring in Santana, which happened to be a former home for the LAX member. Santana currently is the House Of Glory Champion.

Before heading to AEW in 2019, Santana and Ortiz were undoubtedly the top tag team in TNA (then known as IMPACT Wrestling) and the two certainly showed plenty of promise when becoming All Elite. The duo aligned themselves as members. of Chris Jericho’s Inner Circle and the two’s star power grew even further as time went on. 

However, it was Konnan who first revealed that legitimate tension rose between Ortiz and Santana. As time went on, it confirmed by both men that they grew apart. In a new interview with Chris Van Vliet, Santana made mention that he and Ortiz began to have different philosophies about tag team wrestling, indicating that he has a super driven mindset and was more willing to fight for himself and the team.

Not too long before Santana was released from AEW, he revealed that he was a full year sober on social media and made clear to Chris Van Vliet that he holds no ill will to his former partner, stating that he was a different person back then.
