An AEW star posted a cryptic message on social media following his release from the Jacksonville-based company. This would be Mike Santana.
Santana was a part of the Proud & Powerful tag team alongside Ortiz. The duo debuted at the AEW All Out 2019 Pay-Per-View and immediately joined The Inner Circle on Dynamite's inaugural episode. Later in 2023, the tag team parted ways due to creative differences.
Mike wanted a singles push in AEW, which was seemingly denied. This created a rift between the duo. He left AEW in early March 2024, ending an almost five-year tenure.

Mike Santana breaks silence after his AEW departure
Following his departure from AEW, Mike Santana broke his silence to express gratitude for the opportunities that he was provided with at the Jacksonville-based promotion. He took to social media to share a heartfelt and inspiring message with his fans.
"It's been 5 years full of ups and downs, but above all it taught me so much about myself and this business. I'm thankful for the opportunity I was given to be a part of history at the ground level. I can say that I'll forever be a part of that legacy right at day one."
Santana went on:
"But as you know, there comes a time in life where you have to make decisions and take a bet on yourself. We only get one chance at this life thing and life is about taking risks. You'll never know your true potential unless you really put it to work. I'm a big believer in 'When one door closes, a bigger door opens', and im so excited for what the future holds for me."
