Sammy Guevara will face Shelton Benjamin on the October 23 edition of AEW Dynamite.
The match was announced during a video package that aired during Saturday night’s episode of AEW Collision.
Guevara said:
You know, I’ve been here for the past five years. I take a lot of pride in being called an AEW original. Because of this place, my life changed for the better. So the best way I know how to repay AEW is to make sure every single time I get in that ring, I make sure I give you a moment like you have never seen before.
For me, the goal is the same. But the way I get there needs to be simple. The way I realize my destiny is by going against the best. And one of the best just had a hell of a debut last Wednesday on Dynamite. He’s a man I’ve watched since I was a kid. So I went to Tony Khan personally, and I asked for this match. So this Wednesday, for the first time ever, live on Dynamite, it’ll be Sammy Guevara versus Shelton Benjamin. Get ready for another moment.
The match joins several other matches and segments announced for Wednesday’s show.
