Sammy Guevara wins TNT title at AEW Battle of the Belts II
Sammy Guevara is the new TNT champion after defeating Scorpio Sky for the title at AEW Battle of the Belts II. Sammy acted heelish in the match near the end, as he got help from Tay Conti and eventually hit a low blow on Sky followed by the GTH for the win. At one point, Paige VanZant came out and brawled with Conti.
This is the third TNT title reign for Guevara. He originally lost the belt to Sky on March 9, 2022. This end’s Sky’s reign at 37 days.

Crowd turning on those two. Count me in on that, too.
Going over like a lead balloon. I see all of this as being bad for Tay. I doubt anyone wants to see the two of them play tonsil hockey.
Obviously I haven’t seen it yet, but it sounds like they (Sammy and Tay) turned heel. If so, we will see him carry that belt for a while in my opinion. AEW may follow that whole WWE idea of “a bad guy having the belt and the good guys chasing him” for a while with her helping him collect wins. Not a bad idea from a creative standpoint. They can go all kinds of places from here with that storyline.
