Sammy Guevara is confident that the fans are eager to see him win the TNT Championship again.
“The Spanish God” has held the gold three times, or technically four, counting his Interim TNT Championship reign. He and Scorpio Sky have traded the belt back and forth, but the title is once again in the former SCU member’s hands. While the crowd has somewhat soured on Guevara in recent weeks, he believes that everyone wants to see him regain the gold.
“I think I speak for a lot of fans when I say I can’t wait until I’m a four-time five-champion. I think the people are clamoring for it. People want it,” Guevara said during an interview with Brandon Walker of Rasslin.
When asked about the way fans have turned on them, Guevara and Tay Conti noted that nothing has changed, but some people have “exposed themselves” for being fake since the couple has brought their real relationship to AEW programming.
“The people changed,” said Guevara. “We’re still the same people. Still the beautiful Tay Conti here, ‘The Brazilian Goddess’, ‘The Spanish God’ doing all these crazy things in the ring. I’m still the same person, she’s still the same person.
“I think really what happened is people exposed themselves…. I don’t think people hate us. I think the fake people exposed themselves for being fake. The real people are still there. Our core audience, the people who have always supported us, still support us.”
Conti chimed in by saying, “I man, we did nothing wrong for people to hate us. Why? Why do they hate us?”
