#1. Chris Jericho vs Sammy Guevara on AEW - First Blood match; if Sammy loses he cannot challenge for a title for 1 year
Chris Jericho has played a monumental role in turning Sammy Guevara into the superstar he is in AEW. Jericho took the Spanish God under his wing and built him up to be one of the top young stars in AEW.

Jericho always speaks very highly of Guevara and puts him over as his own younger brother whenever he has the opportunity to do so. Facing Sammy Guevara in a first blood match would be bad enough for Chris Jericho, but a minor prick can draw blood and MJF will be wary of that possibility. There will be a need for an added stipulation to ensure Jericho has to toil to beat his protege.
Therefore, on top of being a first blood match, if Sammy loses he cannot challenge for any titles in AEW for a year. The added stipulation will force Sammy Guevara to give it his best shot. Chris Jericho having to make his most beloved disciple bleed and cost him a title opportunity for a year in order to get his hands on MJF will bring nuclear heat upon MJF as well as make the story extremely emotional. Moreover, it protects Sammy Guevara.
Sammy is a rising star who will soon need a title to establish himself as a legitimate top guy but AEW has enough storylines for titles at the moment. With no pressure to put a belt on Sammy for a year, AEW can build up his story for a year for, say, next year's AEW All Out and the pop for whatever title he eventually wins will be deafening. The story will be in line with AEW's habit of long-term storytelling as well and make Sammy Guevara a bonafide top babyface.
