Independent standout Sammy Guevara signed on with AEW this past February. Speaking with Wrestling Inc., he states that it wasn’t a hard decision. “I have no interest in going to WWE at the moment, which is very weird for me to say. If I ever do go there, I want my name to be at a much higher point. When I was at the tryout a couple of years ago, back in 2017, it kind of opened my eyes. It’s like, oh, if I don’t have a pretty big following of big names, they kind of don’t give an f- about you.”
Continuing on, Guevara talked about the current influx of quality competitors in all of WWE’s various brands. “Especially, there’s too many guys signed at the moment. They’ve got guys on the back-burner just waiting, so, for me, it just didn’t seem like the best option.” He stated that AEW just made sense and he signed a contract as soon as he was offered one.
Looking forward to his days in the new promotion, he talked about wrestling Chris Jericho. “It’s going to be very cool getting in [the ring] with Jericho. Just watching him growing up and then to finally get in the ring with this dude that I used to watch on TV. And now, to have the other people watching me wrestle him on TV is kind of mind blowing.”
