Former WWE star to face Sammy Guevara on AEW Dark

AEW star Sammy Guevara will have the privilege of welcoming former WWE star Ho Ho Lun to tonight's edition of AEW Dark.

The Hong Kong native is best known for his brief run in WWE between 2016 and 2017 where he competed in the inaugural "Crusierweight Classic." Ho Ho Lun then had a run on NXT before parting ways with the company.

Since his departure, Ho Ho Lun has been a mainstay in Japan. He mainly operates in the Dragon Gate promotion where he has battled some of their top stars including Ultimo Dragon, Naruki Doi and Masato Yoshino.

Now Ho Ho Lun has the tough task of making his AEW debut against stiff competition. Former AEW TNT Champion and "Inner Circle" member Sammy Guevara is no slouch and is looking to gain some momentum at Lun's expense.

Sammy Guevara lost his TNT championship at the "Holiday Bash" edition of AEW Rampage to Cody Rhodes in a very competitive match. Gaining a win against Ho Ho Lun will be crucial in revitalizing Guevara's confidence.
