Episode overview
Ortiz joins AEW Unrestricted to talk about the nearly two-year journey that led him back to AEW television. He breaks down the torn pectoral injury from January 2024, multiple surgeries, the mental lows of rehab, and how changing his mindset reshaped his approach to wrestling, training, and life. Ortiz also discusses returning at Worlds End Zero Hour to help Eddie Kingston, rebuilding confidence through dark matches and indie work, stepping into a coaching role backstage, launching seminars and a future wrestling school with Eddie, and why his Rampage match with Eddie Kingston vs. Takeshita and Jun Akiyama stands out as a career favorite.
