Ortiz is dealing with a torn pec.

The 32-year-old hasn't wrestled since January 20 when he teamed with Eddie Kingston in a loss to Bryan Danielson and Claudio Castagnoli on AEW Collision.

He revealed on Isiah Kassidy's vlog over the weekend that he's about to get surgery.

"I'm injured, man," Ortiz said. "I'm about to get surgery in two weeks."

"It was just from a clothesline. I tore my pec from a clothesline," he continued.

"Two weeks, four months recovery time, and then I'll be back more jacked with a mullet and a mustache."

Ortiz and Kassidy were later shown working on commentary for Ethan Page's Alpha-1 Wrestling promotion in Hamilton, ON, Canada. Ortiz would also work as a guest referee later in the show.

Ortiz's longtime partner, Mike Santana, recently revealed that he departed AEW after having been with the company since 2019. Fightful Select is reporting that he could be headed back to TNA Wrestling, where he and Ortiz are four-time tag champions as LAX.
