Born Mark Sanchez, Mike Santana is a proud Puerto Rican wrestler who first began wrestling in 2007. He initially gained fame as one half of the legendary tag team LAX alongside Ortiz, capturing the TNA World Tag Team Championships four times, and later competed in AEW. However, with aspirations to become a singles competitor, he chose to leave Tony Khan’s promotion and establish himself in TNA, a move that paid off, as he went on to win the TNA World Championship twice.
