10 Contenders For The First AEW Midcard Championship
2. Sammy Guevara
Whilst Jericho, Hagar, Santana, and Ortiz were all famous before coming together, very few wrestling fans had ever heard of Sammy Guevara before he joined The Inner Circle.
The Best Ever wrestled his first match in 2013 and competed for promotions like XWA, AAA, and Lucha Underground before joining All Elite. He was quickly pushed, competing in the company's first official singles match and their first ever match on TNT.
It was on this episode of Dynamite where Guevara joined The Inner Circle, beating up Cody (his opponent that night) and forming the biggest heel stable in the entire promotion.
If AEW are keen to push The Inner Circle by giving them more belts, Guevara is the obvious choice. Jericho is the World Champion, Hager already has a role as his muscle, and Santana and Ortiz are the tag team. This perfectly positions Sammy as the upper midcard member of the group.
Both Guevara and The Inner Circle as a whole would benefit from him claiming the inaugural championship. It would elevate Sammy's status and make his faction look even more dominant.
Where's that bubbly at?
