Santana Speaks On His Return To AEW – After making his return to the company on the August 23 episode of Dynamite Fyter Fest, Santana expressed his thoughts on social media through a statement.
In his statement, Santana looked back on the past three and a half years, expressing gratitude for how events unfolded, as they contributed to his personal growth and transformation. He also extended his appreciation to fans and family who supported him during his absence from AEW due to injury.
“To say that I knew what the road ahead of me was going to be like when I got hurt, would be totally false. The struggles and battles I’ve overcome to get back to what I love and have dedicated my life to is unimaginable. But the most important thing was that it taught me so much about myself and made me a 10x better person than who I was. I’m thankful that everything from the last 3 and half years happened the way they did. It needed to. Everything from losing my father, to unhappiness at work, to personal struggles, and everything in between. I’m thankful for all those things. They forced me to face me. To look in the mirror and learn to love/appreciate the person looking back. My story will be told eventually. I just want to enjoy this moment that I’ve worked so damn hard to get to. Thanks to EVERYONE who ever reached out. Every message from the fans. All the support from my family. Those who were there during my darkest days. I’II forever be grateful for all of you. NOW LETS GET TO WORK!”
