Former AEW star makes a big revelation on future plans: "Everyone's ultimate goal is to go to WWE"

Throughout the years, numerous wrestlers have appeared on AEW. Some of them are now top stars in the company. However, many are no longer with the promotion anymore.

Mike Santana was signed to AEW from 2019 to 2024. He and Ortiz were a tag team. Interestingly, this duo were members of the now-defunct faction, The Inner Circle. The stable was led by the reigning ROH World Champion, Chris Jericho. Apart from the aforementioned names, the stable consisted of Sammy Guevara, Jake Hager, and more.

Santana is currently signed to TNA. Recently, he was interviewed by Tim Hann Rivera. During that, he revealed that his focus right now is to achieve immense success in the promotion he is wrestling for. However, he wants to become a WWE star in the future. According to him, every wrestler's ultimate goal is to get signed by the Stamford-based promotion.

"But again, everyone's ultimate goal is to go to WWE. That's the top, right? We'll see. We'll see how life presents itself and how things go, man, but I never leave any door closed. That's one thing that you always learn in life, in general, you don't burn bridges, you don't leave doors closed. I think it would be pretty cool." said Santana. [H/T: Fightful]
