A veteran AEW star has issued a personal message to mark a milestone in his career. The former champion has just recalled a match he had with Cody Rhodes.
Dynamite was held at the Maverik Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, on March 11, 2020. This was just the 23rd edition of the show. Then-Executive Vice President Cody Rhodes opened the show that night with an 11-minute victory over Ortiz.
The former Inner Circle member took to X today to reflect on the loss to Cody. Ortiz said he would never forget the match as he was out of shape and his confidence had hit rock bottom.

"This match I will always remember. I was physically out of shape. Not only did Cody whip my ass. My confidence was at an all time low. You gotta hit the bottom sometimes and say enough is enough! I made a vow that day to never feel like that again. It's never too late to change!" he wrote.

Rhodes' win over Ortiz led to a six-man match the following week. The March 17, 2020 edition of Dynamite saw Ortiz, Santana, and Jake Hager defeat Rhodes, Matt Jackson, and Hangman Page.
