AEW News: Wrestler surprised after All Elite Wrestling announced him for a historic match against Cody Rhodes
All Elite Wrestling is gearing up for its monumental TV debut on the TNT Network which is scheduled to take place on October 2nd. Sammy Guevara, who is slated to face Cody Rhodes in the first one-on-one-match on AEW TV, was recently interviewed by Chris Van Vliet.
Guevara revealed that he was not informed about the match before the announcement and that he woke up to the news just like everyone else. The former AAA World Cruiserweight Champion claimed that he prefers being surprised and felt like he was dreaming after realizing he was one of the two wrestlers who will work the first match on AEW's weekly programming.
“That’s one thing about me, I don’t want to know anything ahead of time, because then I’ll just end up saying it. I like being surprised as everyone else. So when I woke up in the morning and saw that I was like ‘Ok, cool, this is wild to be the first AEW one-on-one match and now the first one on TV’, am I dreaming? Pinch me, you know what I’m saying?”
