AEW star, Sammy Guevara has been on one heck of a run, which was why it was a shock to most that he didnât have any matches lined up for Fyter Fest, which starts this evening on Dynamite (TNT). Well, all of thatâs been put to bed because he finally has an opponent, and itâs another up and comer ready for an opportunity to make a statement all his own on the companyâs largest of stages.
It has been announced that Wheeler Yuta will be facing Sammy Guevara on night one of Fyter Fest this evening on Dynamite, and the announcement certainly has many excited, and for very good reason.
After an impressive run of matches on #AEWDark + Elevation, #BestFriends protege @WheelerYuta will make his #AEWDynamite debut LIVE TONIGHT at 8p on TNT vs. one of AEWâs top stars: @sammyguevara, returning to the ring for the first time since his classic main event 2 weeks ago! pic.twitter.com/co8uidIRiW

Yuta has been making himself known on Dark and Elevation. He was trained at the Michinoku Pro Wrestling Dojo, and that dojo is certainly nowhere near small potatoes (perhaps a large and vast understatement), as Taka Michinoku made himself quite known during WWEâs Attitude Era, in New Japan Pro, All Japan Pro, ECW and so many other companies and territories over the decades. His experiences led to the legend status he now most deservedly enjoys.
Interestingly enough, Pro Wrestling Wiki lists Drew Gulak as a trainer of Yutaâs as well.
This young man still doesnât have very much in print about himâhe doesnât even have a full page at Pro Wrestling Wiki, or an official page on Wikipedia, but heâs sure on his way for sure. Follower tweets on the original AEW tweet were very favorable and positive, and itâs safe to assume that we are definitely in for a treat.
Sammy Guevara is a dominant member of The Inner Circle (really which of the members arenât? The faction is a dominant one and will certainly go down in history as being one of the best; there is surely no doubt about that).
Guevara got his start in the business early; the 27 year old has already done so much, having made stops at the National Wrestling Alliance, PWG (Pro Wrestling Guerilla), Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, Lucha Underground, and that was all before signing with AEW in 2019. This was all in a span of six years or so.
In AEW he has certainly been making all of the right decisions. Two weeks ago, he was defeated by MJF on Dynamite (assisted by The Pinnacle of course), but his momentum is unquestionable. Wins and losses matter in AEW but you canât stop a rocket thatâs destined to crash through the stratosphere.

That feud certainly isnât over and weâre sure to soon see more dealings between Guevara and Spears, or rather we hope we will, but of course time will undoubtedly tell.
Until then, tonightâs match is sure promising epic moments and it could mean huge exposure for a young upstart just getting his chance on TV (Yuta), and it could mean the cementing of a spectacular run for Guevara to boot.
As always, weâll keep you posted on what goes down.
