Ortiz Nearing In-Ring Return – Ortiz is set to make his way back to AEW soon, following a long recovery from a torn pectoral muscle that has kept him out of action for most of 2024. The injury occurred in a tag team match on the January 20 episode of AEW Collision, where Ortiz and Eddie Kingston faced Bryan Danielson and Claudio Castagnoli. Since then, Ortiz has been working toward regaining his form and returning to the ring.
Following his split from former tag partner Mike Santana—who has since moved to TNA—Ortiz had transitioned to singles competition within AEW. His last appearance on AEW Dynamite came in March 2023, marking the beginning of a new chapter in his career that was unfortunately interrupted by the injury.
In a recent cameo on Isiah Kassidy’s vlog, Ortiz updated fans on his recovery progress. He expressed optimism about his return, saying, “I’m not quite back yet, but I’m right there. I’m stronger, faster, but less flexible.” Ortiz’s comment suggests he’s near the end of his recovery process, with just a few steps left before he can fully step back into the ring.
Ortiz’s comeback could bring fresh momentum to AEW’s singles division, where he will be looking to make an impact after months on the sidelines. As fans eagerly anticipate his return, Ortiz’s dedication to rebuilding his strength shows his commitment to reestablishing himself in AEW.
