All Elite Wrestling first launched in 2019, and since then a number of names who were with the promotion from day one have since left the company. Recently Mike Santana took to social media to issue a statement confirming that he is officially done with AEW.
Dave Meltzer noted in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Mike Santana’s AEW departure wasn’t a surprise as he hadn’t been happy in AEW for a long time. Santana reportedly wanted a singles push that wasn’t materializing, so he just wanted out.
Santana beat Ortiz in a grudge match back in October of 2023 and was not used again. While Santana will no longer be a part of AEW moving forward he is still actively wrestling and currently holds the House of Glory Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship.
How do you feel about Santana parting ways with AEW? Sound off in the comments below.
