Ortiz says that WWE was interested in signing he and Santana prior to them ultimately deciding to sign with All Elite Wrestling.
Speaking on a recent edition of the “Shining Wizards Wrestling Podcast,” Ortiz revealed that there was interest from WWE after they left Impact Wrestling. He said,
“Impact definitely wanted to keep us. WWE was an option at that time. It really went back and forth with us and it made our decision really hard. They made it very appealing and we would’ve gone over for NXT. They were making it really appealing and hard for us to actually choose AEW.”
He added, “Ultimately, we went with AEW just because the schedule was a huge factor being that we would be at home more with our families. We’d be able to raise our children and have more of a hand in that. We were thinking best case scenario. Lets say we’d bust our ass and take off and make it to the main roster in WWE. We’d probably never be home.”
