Santana suffered a left knee injury during the Blood & Guts match last Wednesday on AEW Dynamite.
The AEW star laid outside for a large portion of the match and was helped backstage after the bout. He didn’t participate in the post-match celebration alongside Claudio Castagnoli, Eddie Kingston, Jon Moxley, Ortiz, & Wheeler Yuta.
While speaking on Busted Open Radio, AEW President Tony Khan commented on Santana’s injury.
“I haven’t talked much publicly about it. He is injured and it’s unfortunate. Obviously, it’s a very dangerous match and going into it, we knew injuries were a possibility. Santana is a great pro wrestler and part of a great tag team with Ortiz. We really value him. I did speak to him after, I know he’s injured, we’re going to stand by Santana and support him through the injury and do what we can. It’s the right thing to do. Hopefully, it won’t too long, but it could be a relatively long injury. It could be a while that Santana is out, but we’re here for whatever he needs. It’s unfortunate that the Blood & Guts match does come with injuries. It’s a knee injury that he suffered. Hopefully, he’ll be back, relatively soon,” he said.
It is unknown how long Santana will be sidelined. We wish him a speedy recovery.
