Santana and Ortiz were the guests on this week's episode of AEW Unrestricted. Speaking about what convinced them to sign with AEW, Ortiz revealed that the duo also had a contract offer from WWE but it was the opportunity to work closely with Chris Jericho in the Inner Circle that convinced them to go with AEW:

"(Chris Jericho and the Inner Circle) was one of the deciding factors for us actually coming into the company because right before we went in, we had offers to go to WWE or AEW. We were on the fence, initially. Many other factors but one of the swaying decisions for us was Chris specifically wanted us to be a part of the Inner Circle. We were like, wow, man. He’s a huge, not to get so long winded about it, part of our bonding experience," said Ortiz." H/T: WrestlingINC

Santana and Ortiz were recently feuding with FTR in AEW. With Jericho's feud with MJF now seemingly over, it will be interesting to see what lies next for The Inner Circle.
