Several current AEW stars and personnel are good friends with Le Champion behind the scenes. However, there are a handful who are really close to the former AEW Champion in real life.
With that in mind, take a look at the seven real-life friends of Chris Jericho in AEW.
#7. Sammy Guevara is friends with Chris Jericho
Sammy Guevara is just 28-year-old while Chris Jericho will soon celebrate his 51st birthday. Despite the age gap, the two stars share a special bond behind the scenes.
During a recent appearance on the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Guevara commented on his friendship with Jericho, among other things.
“I didn’t know him prior to AEW. He ended up watching NWA 70, which I was wrestling at, and for whatever reason he saw my match and he took a liking to me. That’s one of the reasons I was brought into AEW and into the Inner Circle. But it was more as TV weeks just progressed and we were doing stuff on TV, Le Sex Gods, and we were texting back and forth just with ideas."
"A real friendship just kind of grew naturally, it wasn’t a forced thing. I really can’t describe one moment, but it was pretty much just the weeks of TV. We just became better and better friends as time has gone on, through the good times and the bad times. He’s been there for me when I’ve needed it most. I love that guy and I’ll do anything for him,” said Sammy Guevara.
Sammy Guevara has grown as a wrestler and entertainer in AEW after working alongside Chris Jericho. Many stars have credited Jericho for their success, and it’s good to see that the youngster has found a true friend in the veteran.
