Fuego Del Sol on his unforgettable moment in AEW
Fuego Del Sol shared his thoughts on the most significant moment of his career, which occurred within the Tony Khan-led promotion.
During an episode of AEW Unrestricted, Fuego Del Sol expressed that receiving an All Elite Wrestling contract from his best friend, Sammy Guevara, was the pinnacle of his wrestling journey.
"Me and Sammy have never interacted on screen together, and he’s a big star in AEW. And I didn’t know if they wanted us to ever be even connected on screen at all. So, to let him, my best friend, come out and hand me the contract, and do it on the biggest stage it could possibly be done on the first Rampage was one of the greatest moments of my career. Probably the greatest moment of my career,” Fuego said.
Whatever lies ahead for Fuego Del Sol, his departure from the Jaconksonville-based promotion is bittersweet for fans who have grown fond of his fiery persona.
