AEW wrestler Matt Hardy has expressed admiration for Mike Santana’s current tenure in TNA Wrestling, especially highlighting Santana’s determination following his departure from AEW and his prominent role in TNA’s main event alongside world champion Trick Williams. During a discussion on the Extreme Life podcast, Hardy praised Santana for competing in high-stakes matches against top-tier talent.
Hardy explained his decision to part ways with Santana in AEW, noting, “He has immense respect for Mike because he takes a bold chance on himself. Santana requested his release from AEW after feeling that there was limited opportunity for growth or recognition within the roster and management. Choosing to bet on himself, he moved to TNA.”
Looking ahead to Santana’s storyline with Trick Williams, Hardy remarked, “He is highly motivated and fiercely committed to these matches with Trick Williams. Santana is motivated by pride in his family, including his father and daughter, driving his strong performance.”
