After the bell, Sonjay Dutt came out and tried to recruit Ortiz, who clearly was not interested.
Santana missed over a year due to an ACL injury he suffered in June 2022. He returned ahead of AEW All in in August 2023. Santana and Ortiz, who reportedly had issues in real life, teamed up in the Stadium Stampede match at the pay-per-view. Santana then stated that he was going down a new path by himseldf, and they had been feuding ever since.
