8 Wrestlers Cody Helped To Get Over In AEW
7. Sammy Guevara
Many people have been calling for Cody to go full heel, but not at the expense of one of the four pillars. “The Spanish God has gotten himself massively over with crowds and viewers alike, the TNT Title was the reward and a chance to step in up to the next level. Sadly that first title reign seemed to fall short of previous reigns by the likes of Miro and Darby Allin.
Anxious fans were worried Sammy was about to get buried when Cody answered the open challenge to try and earn himself a third go-around with the TNT Title. Because Cody beats and ruins all your favourites right?
Those fans’ worst fears seemed to be confirmed with Cody taking back the title and ruining Christmas. Instead, It turned out to be something of a reboot for Sammy’s title run, putting the younger man over in a five-star ladder match.
A sporting contest built on mutual respect, the match put across just how far Sammy has come since the pair met in AEW’s first ever TV match on the debut episode of Dynamite.
