One member of the Inner Circle was conspicuous by his absence this week on AEW Dynamite. Santana wasn’t present in any of the segments involving the group. But his teammate, Ortiz came to ringside during Chris Jericho’s match with Frankie Kazarian. Many fans wondered why Santana was missing, and a report from Cassidy Haynes of Bodyslam.net could shine some light on the situation.
Per Hayne’s report, Santana was not present for the AEW Dynamite tapings. “I was also told that a personal issue kept him home,” wrote Haynes. “It was stated that Santana’s absence was not health related, as he was said to not be sick.”
Santana’s absence might continue on next week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, as he reportedly wasn’t at the tapings for that show, either. The Inner Circle is scheduled to have an “Ultimatum” next week, as Jericho threatened to end the group if they can’t coexist.
Chris Jericho (@IAmJericho) set the record straight on this past episode of Dynamite. They either get their priorities straight or the Inner Circle is no more.
