Tony Khan Discusses Fans’ ‘Interesting’ Reaction To Sammy Guevara & Tay Conti

AEW

As Head of Creative at AEW, Tony Khan definitely hears fans’ opinions on the polarizing relationship between Sammy Guevara and Tay Conti.

Speaking to Superstar Crossover with Josh Martinez, Khan shared his belief that the crowd will have a tremendous impact on tonight’s match, noting:

“I think the crowd is going to be very pivotal in this match, I think Sammy Guevara and Tay Conti have created a very polarizing reaction. They were red hot as babyfaces both of them separately, I believe. I think Sammy was a great, young babyface coming off some really big wins. He is a great TNT Champion and Tay Conti is a great wrestler who has improved so much and, in fact, she was voted The Most Improved Wrestler of the Year award last year in the Observer Awards, voted by the fans. She also had so many exciting matches coming so cool close to winning the championship on pay-per-view against Dr. Britt Baker, then great matches with Jade Cargill, and a huge emotional win in the Street Fight teaming with Anna Jay against Penelope Ford and The Bunny. So, I would like to you know, say that they both have come so far individually but then together, they have really created this polarizing reaction. It’s unlike anything I’ve seen when they’re together and fans don’t like them. I think it’s interesting.”

Scheduled for tonight’s episode (April 27) of AEW Dynamite, Sammy will defend his beloved as well as apparently soiled TNT Championship gold in a rematch against Scorpio Sky, this time a ladder match.

Sammy granted Sky the opportunity after saying he also wanted to face him in an intergender match presumably with Paige VanZant representing American Top Team against Tay Conti in the future match.
