Santana Hurt His Back During AEW Blood & Guts Match

AEW brought Blood & Guts to fans last week. There were critics of the special show, but All Elite Wrestling topped the night in cable for the first time ever. It was a brutal contest and it also left a few people banged up the next day. According to Chris Jericho, Santana was having problems walking the next day.

The Inner Circle lost the match to The Pinnacle, but both teams suffered a ton of punishment. During Talk Is Jericho, Le Champion revealed that Santana hurt his back doing a bump onto a chair during the match. That left him with issues the next day.

Ortiz got back bumped into the cage and the cage moved and he fell between the cage and the apron. I went over and tried to pull the cage back so he could get out. It looked really dangerous. Later on, Santana did the same, except he took the bump over the top rope and between the apron and cage, onto a chair that was also stuffed in there. He actually got really hurt and messed up his back and was having some problems walking after.

Chris Jericho also addressed those critics of the Blood & Guts match, particularly the final spot where he took such a long fall. It’s hard to deny that the spot would have come off much better on television if they took a wider shot of the bump.

Do you think AEW will be able to top Blood & Guts? Who would you want to see in the match next? How long should AEW wait before doing another one?
