The main event of this past Sunday night’s Double or Nothing PPV featured the Stadium Stampede Match, where the Inner Circle (Chris Jericho, Jake Hager, Sammy Guevara, Santana and Ortiz) secured the huge pinfall victory over the Pinnacle (MJF, FTR, Shawn Spears and Wardlow), with Guevara securing the win for his team by hitting Spears with a 630 splash.
Speaking with Busted Open Radio, Guevara discussed the Stadium Stampede Match and how he doesn’t even have the words to express his true feelings towards the match and how it’s a night he’ll remember for forever.
This is what Sammy Guevara said:
“Man it’s a trip.” “I don’t even have the words to express it. Main eventing the PPV, closing it out. My girlfriend was in the audience, my best friends were there. The crowd loved me. It’s a night I’ll remember for forever, that’s for sure.”
Sammy Guevara was then asked if the crowd at the Double or Nothing Event was the loudest crowd he has ever performed in front of, to which he said since he forgot what a crowd like that sounds like, he’s not sure if it’s just the fact that he hasn’t heard a loud crowd in a long while, but that was surely one of the loudest.
This is what Sammy Guevara said:
“I feel like it was.” “We’ve been doing this in front of barely any people for the last year and a half. So I forgot what a crowd like that sounds like. So I don’t know if it’s just the fact that I haven’t heard a loud crowd in awhile. But yeah, that was one of the loudest.”
Guevara then talked about being nervous prior to the Stadium Stampede Match, but once he came out for the match, he was definitely pumped and full of energy.
This is what Sammy Guevara said:
“I was a little nervous going into it because they just saw so many good matches and they were being loud for them all.” “And you know, crowds get tired towards the end, so I’m like ‘man, hopefully they’re this energetic by the time we come out.’ When Jericho and Max were up in the stands and me and Spears came with the golf cart, it was insane. I was like ‘well they’re definitely still awake.’”
Sammy Guevara then talked about how close and tight the entire Inner Circle faction is off-screen and how he considers and looks up to Chris Jericho, Santana, Ortiz and Jake Hager as his big brothers.
This is what Sammy Guevara said:
“It’s great man.” “We’ve got this group chat where we send memes to each other. I feel like they’re all my big brothers. They kind of just guide me to wherever we’re trying to go, they all help me out. To me, they’re definitely some brothers. I feel like at the beginning of Dynamite, this was storyline kind of stuff. Like ‘oh we’re in this group, whatever.’ But then as the months went on we actually formed an actual relationship and we actually became friends. I feel we’re in a good group of guys. These five, I don’t know if it would’ve worked with anyone else.”
Guevara then revealed that it was him who suggested to end the Stadium Stampede Match in the ring and in front of a live audience.
This is what Sammy Guevara said:
“It was my idea to have the match go from the cinematic to end it into the live crowd. And they actually went with it.” “I was surprised too. Tony and Chris came up to me and said ‘that was a really good idea.’ I figured others went up to them and told them that idea, but apparently no one else did. They gave me credit for it, so that was really cool.”
