Scorpio Sky is ready to move past Sammy Guevera as TNT Champion here in AEW. They’ve played hot potato with the belt, but after Sammy Guevara, Tay Conti & Frankie Kazarian would break into and destroy the home base of American Top Team – and steal some of their treasured belts? It was time to make things right.
Tonight, he will team up with Ethan Page and the debuting Paige VanZant, and when they win – Guevara and Kazarian will be unable to challenge Sky during the rest of his reign as TNT Champion. So tonight is do or die to Guevara, who has made the TNT Championship a core part of his personality after splitting from the now defunct Inner Circle faction.
