In a recent interview on the AEW Unrestricted podcast, All Elite Wrestling star Fuego del Sol discussed several topics, including signing his AEW contract, what the referee told him in the ring and more.

“Friday, August 13th, 2021, that night I’ll never forget, the first-ever Rampage, it’s kind of hard to put into words, it was such an overwhelming feeling. I remember all day being so excited because I had never even wrestled on Dynamite before. To have over 40 matches in the company and never get to be on TV, the pressure was already on just to have a good match and perform well that night, and then to be shocked and surprised afterwards.

Just thinking about it, I get the chill bumps, I got goosebumps thinking about it because I had no clue. A lot of people online like to joke around, speculate and talk about their conspiracy theories, but I had no clue, I was told to lay there through the break and get the reception from the crowd after we come back, I remember I was sitting there just trying to look tough as we came back from break because I just went through hell with Miro.

Sammy Guevara’s music hit and I immediately turned my head and was overwhelmed with emotion, Sammy and I had never interacted on-screen together, he’s a big star in AEW and I didn’t know if they wanted us to ever even be connected on-screen at all. To let him, my best friend, come out and hand me the contract and do it on one of the biggest stages that it could possibly be done, the first Rampage, was one of the greatest moments of my career, probably the greatest moment of my career.”
