Santana & Ortiz Join BCC in Stadium Stampede Match at AEW All In 2023
Santana and Ortiz will align with Blackpool Combat Club in the Stadium Stampede match at the AEW All In 2023 PPV event.
During the August 23 episode of AEW Dynamite, John Moxley was set to face Rey Fenix. During the match, Moxley defeated Fenix. Following the match, both Wheeler Yuta and Claudio Castagnoli, members of BCC, joined forces with Moxley to assault Fenix.
El Zero Miedo and Eddie Kingston came out to stop BCC. However, a surprising twist occurred as Santana and Angel Ortiz stopped them on the ramp itself and attacked them. Best Friends and Orange Cassidy ultimately came out to make the save.

Also at the show, Fenix was carried out on a stretcher due to the brutal attack by the Blackpool Combat Club. Earlier reports indicated that Fenix would not be participating in the AEW All-In event.
AEW confirmed later that the stadium stampede match will now be 5-on-5 match instead of being 6-on-6 match as advertised last week. Santana and Ortiz will join BCC’s Moxley, Castagnoli and Yuta. They will face Eddie Kingston, Penta, Orange Cassidy, Chuck Taylor and Trent Baretta in the match.
Santana teamed up with BCC, Ortiz, and Eddie Kignston in the 2022 Blood and Guts match where they defeated Angelo Parker, Chris Jericho, Daniel Garcia, Jake Hager, Matt Menard, and Sammy Guevara. Santana goa got injured during that match, and was out of action ever since.
AEW All In 2023 is set to take place this Sunday, August 27, at Wembley Stadium in London, UK. More changes and additions are expected on the card. Keep tuned in for more updates from the show.
