Seems like Santana wanted him and Ortiz to actually advocate for a push and fight for themselves, but Ortiz was content with just getting a check and getting booked, so Santana refused to team with him anymore.
The way Santana went about it by setting a hard line stance and refusing to team with him anymore, when they were hired to be a tag team might've been the wrong way to go about it, but it seems like Santana is right. Guy wanted more, his partner didn't. Doesn't seem like AEW is very interested in either of them as singles guys. Santana has some upside and I'd like to see him do well as a singles guy, but I wonder if the powers in AEW aren't happy with the way he went about things.
Yeah, Ortiz basically admitted Tony was going to put the tag titles on Santana and Ortiz on 2 separate occasions, but Santana wanted more than that.
I always found it extremely weird they never had that tag title run, but now we know.
Good for Santana for betting on himself, but I don't know where he's going to a top singles guy. Its probably not going to happen in AEW like you where stating. He's been another "problematic" member of the roster. They probably put him in the category of Andrade, Malaki, Buddy and Miro, where they can't push him too far given he's behavior. I mean he was announcing when his contract was expiring. Why should AEW give him a bone?
Hunter probably signs him, because he has a hard-on for taking AEW talent, but Santana's 33. Is he going to NXT? Or is he okay being a midcarder at best in WWE? Does Cody vouch for him for a top spot?
I think Santana's timeline may be he ends up the TNA World Champion...which is...okay?
