The second time was the charm for Santana and Ortiz this week on AEW Dynamite.
On Wednesday, the duo once known as Proud ‘n’ Powerful picked up a big win over FTR in a rematch of their ill-fated bout on the special “Fight For The Fallen” episode of Dynamite. This encounter was derailed by a freak accident that injured Cash Wheeler though FTR still picked up the win.
