It looks like Santana is going to be out for a long time.
Santana was injured earlier this month at Blood and Guts, when he attempted a Uranage and his leg buckled. It has been revealed since that it is in fact an ACL injury. Chris Jericho stated on the True Geordie Podcast that Santana is set to miss 8 months due to the injury.
Fightful Select now report that AEW sources believe Santana will miss 8-12 months. They also revealed that Santana is also still yet to have surgery for the injury.
He was at an event in Puerto Rico this weekend to relinquish a title, and was seen on crutches. In addition, we’re told that he let a few people there know that he’d not had surgery yet.
AEW sources expect him to miss 8-12 months

Time will tell which end of the 8-12 months Santana will return to AEW at, but for now we will have to wait and see how the surgery does go when Santana goes under the knife.
