For those hopeful of seeing more from Juventud Guerrera in an AEW ring, the Juice himself believes that there's still more to come from his relationship with Tony Khan's All Elite Wrestling.

Juvi famously appeared last month to battle long-time rival Chris Jericho as part of MJF's Labours of Jericho schtick. There, the three-time WCW Cruiserweight Champion lost to Le Champion on AEW Dynamite in the Third Labour of Jericho.

Now, speaking to The Wrestling Inc. Daily podcast, Guerrera detailed how that Dynamite appearance was "just the first step" for future AEW appearances.

"I think they [AEW] were really happy with my performance. I had a good relationship with everybody there. I think this was just the first step, the beginning. I see a lot of guys there working for a while, for a year or so, before they get signed. That's the story of many wrestlers there. Let's see what happens. I'm back in the gym, I'm healthy and focused, I feel pretty good to be doing something with the young talents, especially with Andrade, and Lucha Brothers, and now Chavo also there."

Guerrera would go on to talk about how AEW does such a great job of blending youth with experience, discuss how a lot of the older guys in the business can still go, and state how he's looking forward to doing more with AEW in the future.
