Sammy Guevara shares his thoughts on his match against Powerhouse Hobbs.

Sammy Guevara and Powerhouse Hobbs have been feuding in recent weeks. The former TNT Champions clashed in a No Disqualification match on the February 24 episode of AEW Collision, and Hobbs emerged victorious. 

Speaking on his latest Vlog, Guevara commented on how he was feeling after the match.

“I’m tired, I feel beat the fuck up. Let me tell you, if you thought getting whipped by big Will Hobbs was a good idea, you are not correct. It’s probably one of the worst things…there was a lot of shitty bumps in that match. I’m very happy with how it turned out,” Guevara said.

Later in the video, Guevara reflected on the bout. He also spoke highly of Hobbs and called him a star. Guevara compared their trajectories in AEW and stated that they hit a home run together on AEW Collision. Guevara emphasized that he hoped AEW capitalized on that, as they put a lot of hard work into the bout.

“Now here we are on Monday, and let me tell you, I feel like shit [laughs]. I feel very wrecked right now. My body hurts. Getting whipped by Will Hobbs in the back, it’s not fun. But I just want to talk about that match. Man, Will Hobbs is a star. I told him that for years. I told him that during the pandemic, when we were stuck in Jacksonville. I said, ‘You are a superstar waiting to shine.’ I feel like him and I have had similar trajectories in AEW, where we’ve gone from group to group to group. He was in Team Taz, he was in QTV. I was in the Inner Circle, I was in JAS, and then we’re both in the Don Callis Family. Luckily, I was able to get the hell out of there before Skeletor sucked the life out of my career, like he’s doing right now to big [Takeshita] and Will Hobbs. But on Saturday, it was nobody else, it was just him and I, and we were able to show that when you give us the opportunity to go and hit a home run, we can hit a fucking home run. That’s the AEW that I love, that you give opportunities to the younger guys, to the now and the future. I am so proud of that match, even though I lost. I am very proud of that match because we were able to show that, and I hope that AEW capitalizes on it, man. Because we put in a lot of hard work there,” Guevara said.

Guevara continued by saying that he knows that they can do more with more, but they need the opportunity to do so. He made it clear that he was proud of Hobbs. Guevara then stated that he is determined to become a champion, and he intends to make that happen.

“I don’t make the decisions and stuff, but I’m very happy with what we did, and I know we can do more with more. But we need the opportunity as well. So I’m proud of Hobbs, even though he’s with a carny that’s sucking the life out of him, and he’s better off on his own, I am still proud of him because he showed out. I did my best to too, but it wasn’t much night. It doesn’t mean that tomorrow won’t be, so we will continue to truck on and try to get back in those rankings that just came back and get back in the title picture because those titles don’t just mean you’re the champion. They also mean a better life for myself, for my daughter, for my wife, for my family, so that’s what we’re gonna try to do, man. We’re gonna come back stronger than ever, and we’re gonna make destined happen. I’ve had to overcome a lot of bullshit in my career, and I feel like I’m still having to overcome stuff, and I will. There will be people that will try to stop you from shining when you start to shine too bright because it intimates them. If you feel like the world’s against you, I know you feel, but nobody can stop you but you. They can put little roadblocks and slow you down a little bit, but no one’s really gonna stop you, and no one’s gonna stop me. So I’ll get to where I’m getting to eventually,” he said.

Following his win over Guevara, Hobbs said he was heading straight to the top. Check out his comments here.
