10 Wrestlers Who Will Define AEW's Future
9. Sammy Guevara
Sammy Guevara is only 27 years old and he is already one of AEW's top names. Hand-picked by Chris Jericho to be a founding member of his Inner Circle faction, Guevara is running with wrestling royalty, much like Randy Orton and Batista did as part of Evolution, and stands to learn so much as Y2J's primary disciple.
Given how talented 'The Spanish God' truly is, he will only get better, and could easily work as either a heel or as a babyface after he inevitably has a falling out with 'Le Champion.' Feuding with Jericho will be Guevara's defining moment, silencing the naysayers who have described him as too small.
If AEW treats him fairly, then Guevara has no reason to consider offers from WWE when his contract comes up, even after Jericho makes a made man out of him. He will be a cornerstone of the fledgeling brand for years to come. Hopefully the future is bright for Sammy, and his out-of-ring antics don't leave him as another example of what might have been in the sport of professional wrestling.
