Tony Khan Confirms Santana Suffered Serious Knee Injury

As noted before, Santana suffered a knee injury during the Blood & Guts match at this past Wednesday’s Blood & Guts themed episode of AEW Dynamite in Detroit, Michigan.

A recent episode of the Busted Open Radio podcast had AEW CEO Tony Khan as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Khan confirming that Santana’s knee injury was serious and he could be out of action for a relatively long time as a result/

“So, he is injured and it’s unfortunate and obviously, it’s a very dangerous match, and going into it we knew injuries were a possibility and Santana’s a great pro wrestler, he’s been part of a great team with Ortiz. We really value him and I did speak to him after, I know he’s injured, we’re going to stand by Santana, you know, support him through the injury and do what we can, it’s the right thing to do.

Of course, hopefully, it won’t be too long but I think it could be a relatively long injury, so, it could be a while that Santana is out but we’re here for him for whatever he needs and certainly appreciate everything he’s done for AEW.

It is unfortunate that the Blood & Guts match does come with injuries, and it was a knee injury that he suffered and hopefully he’ll be back relatively soon.”

Santana issued a statement this past Monday thanking the fans for their support shown towards him over his injury situation.

It’s been an overwhelming last few days. But I just want to take a sec to say THANK YOU. 🙏🏼
