Sammy Guevara remains determined to get to his destiny.

Before the September 11th episode of AEW Dynamite, Sammy Guevara last wrestled on the show in January 2024. He had been sidelined for several months after he was suspended when concussion protocol was not followed in his match against Jeff Hardy at the AEW Rampage taping on February 14th.

Guevara first returned to ROH in August before he came back to AEW television as well. He had competed on pay-per-views, Rampage, and Collision, but September 11th marked his first time back on Dynamite. There, he lost to Ricochet.

In a digital exclusive, Sammy Guevara was asked to discuss his return to AEW Dynamite.

“It‘s been a long road to get back here, and not every day’s a good day. Some days, I wake up and I feel like I am gonna forever pay for the sins of my past, and it feels like, some days, I wake up, and the weight on my shoulders is heavier than others. Some days, I wake up and I’m conflicted with who I was and who I want to be. But who I want to be right now is just a man who’s grateful. It’s not all bad. I came up short tonight. Yeah, losing sucks, and I can’t wait for the rematch. But we’re back on Dynamite. Most importantly, I have a beautiful daughter and a beautiful wife waiting for me at home, and that feeling, that is better than any win in the ring could ever be. So tonight wasn’t my night, but it doesn’t mean tomorrow won’t be. So I’m gonna keep doing my thing. Come here, come to work, show out, give everything that I am, 110% every single time, and one day, somehow, some way, I will get to my destiny one day,” Guevara said.

Guevara and Dustin Rhodes won the ROH World Tag Team Championship on the August 17th episode of AEW Collision, and they continue to hold the titles.
