Tony Khan Confirms Santana Suffered Knee Injury At AEW Blood & Guts

Tony Khan has confirmed Santana suffered a knee injury in the Blood & Guts match on June 29 and the former IMPACT World Tag Team Champion could be out of action for a "relatively long" time.

"I haven't talked much publicly about it. He is injured and it's unfortunate. Obviously, it's a very dangerous match and going into it, we knew injuries were a possibility. Santana is a great pro wrestler and part of a great tag team with Ortiz. We really value him. I did speak to him after, I know he's injured, we're going to stand by Santana and support him through the injury and do what we can. It's the right thing to do," Khan said on Busted Open Radio.

"Hopefully, it won't be too long, but it could be a relatively long injury. It could be a while that Santana is out, but we're here for whatever he needs. It's unfortunate that the Blood & Guts match does come with injuries. It's a knee injury that he suffered. Hopefully, he'll be back, relatively soon."

Santana suffered the injury when he tried to hit a Uranage but his leg gave way. He then largely stayed away from the action and was escorted backstage near the end of Blood & Guts.
