History

Impact Wrestling (2017–2019)

On the March 16, 2017 episode of Impact Wrestling, LAX was reformed with Homicide, Ortiz, Santana, Diamante, and manager Konnan. LAX attacked Decay, Laredo Kid, Garza Jr., and Reno Scum inserting themselves in the Impact World Tag Team Championship picture and winning them the following week, establishing themselves as heels in the process. On the March 30 episode of Impact Wrestling, LAX members Ortiz and Santana defeated Decay, Laredo Kid and Garza Jr. and Reno Scum to win the Impact World Tag Team Championship. On the April 23 episode of Impact Wrestling, LAX defeated Veterans of War (Mayweather and Wilcox) in a tournament finals to win the GFW Tag Team Championship. On November 5 at Bound for Glory, they lost to Ohio Versus Everything (oVe) as part of a double turn with Sami Callihan interfering on oVe's behalf, Jake Crist performing a low blow on Ortiz, and oVe attacking them after the match, thus turning LAX into face in the process.

On the May 24, 2018 episode of Impact King became the newest member of LAX. After the group leader Konnan was attacked, and Homicide and Diamante went missing in action, King assumed leadership of the faction and guided Ortiz and Santana back to being tag team champions. In June, Konnan and Diamante returned, both showing suspicion about King's involvement with the group. On the July 5, 2018 episode of Impact, Konnan confronted King who admitted that it was he who had "taken out a hit" against Konnan to takeover the faction. King then attempted to get Ortiz and Santana to recognize him as the new head of the group but they rejected this and stood beside the original leader, Konnan. Then, former LAX members Hernandez and Homicide returned, entering the ring and attacking Konnan's trio. King then took the mic and proclaimed that his trio was LAX.[1] The group would later become known as The OGz. At Bound for Glory on October 14, The OGz lost to LAX in a Concrete Jungle Death match.

On January 12, 2019, The Lucha Bros (Pentagón Jr. and Rey Fénix) defeated LAX during the TV Tapings in Mexico to win the Impact World Tag Team Championship.[2] LAX would reclaim them at the Rebellion pay per view on April 28th. They held the titles until July, when they lost them to The North (Ethan Page and Josh Alexander). On July 8, it was revealed that Santana and Ortiz would soon be leaving Impact and had interest from WWE and All Elite Wrestling.[3]

On the August 9 edition of Impact, Daga became the newest member of LAX, teaming with Ortiz in a losing effort to Page and Alexander. [4] Santana did not wrestle at those tapings, however Ortiz and Santana were scheduled to face The North at the August television tapings in Mexico.[5] At those same tapings Santana and Ortiz were given a "send off" by the Impact locker room.[6] Santana confirmed the following day that he and Ortiz were in fact done appearing on Impact Wrestling. [7]

All Elite Wrestling (2019-present)

On August 31 at All Out, Santana and Ortiz debuted for All Elite Wrestling attacking both The Lucha Bros (Pentagon Jr. and Fénix) and The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) after their tag team ladder match.[8]
