View on IMDb ↗Biography
Mark Sanchez (February 4, 1991) is an American professional wrestler of Puerto Rican descent. He is currently signed to WWE, where he performs under the ring name Cruz Montana. Sanchez began his wrestling career in 2007 and is perhaps best known for appearing on TNA under the ring name Mike Santana.
In 2012, Sanchez, then known as Mike Draztik, formed a tag team with Angel Ortiz and won several titles on the American independent scene for several years. In 2017, Draztik and Ortiz were hired by TNA (then known as Impact Wrestling) and changed their names to Santana and Ortiz respectively. They joined Konnan as the members of Latin American Xchange (LAX) and won the Impact World Tag Team Championship four times, holding the record for most combined days as champions, with 662 days and, at one point, the record as the longest reign with 261 days. They also won GFW Tag Team Championship and unified the title with the Impact Tag Team Championship. Santana and Ortiz left the promotion in 2019 and, soon after, joined the newly created All Elite Wrestling. In April 2024, he returned to TNA and became a two-time TNA World Champion.
