A top AEW star is set to return to a major wrestling promotion after a long gap of five years.

Ortiz recently spoke about splitting up with Mike Santana in AEW
The AEW tag team of Mike Santana & Ortiz, known as Proud-N-Powerful, was recently split up, and Ortiz has finally revealed the reason behind the team disbanding.
Speaking on The Shining Wizards Podcast, Ortiz revealed that it wasn't the company's decision to split his team with Mike Santana. He explained how Santana did not want to tag with him due to their personal issues.
"Unfortunately, it wasn’t the company’s call to split us (Santana & Ortiz). Me and Santana just couldn’t get it together personally and he was just very adamant about not working with me anymore."
He believes that the storyline was supposed to play out on different AEW shows:
"It was supposed to happen more than once. But just due to stuff out of our control, out of my control, it just never seemed to pan out," Ortiz insisted. [H/T: POST Wrestling]
The Proud-N-Powerful Tag Team was one of the most successful duos in professional wrestling. They won a lot of gold around the globe however, failed to capture the AEW World Tag Titles. It will be interesting to see if both men choose to put their differences aside and reunite in the future.
