Sammy Guevara Reflects On Loss To Shelton Benjamin

ROH World Tag Team Champion Sammy Guevara took part in a digital exclusive following his bout against Shelton Benjamin on Wednesday’s episode of AEW Dynamite, where he talked about a number of topics including his loss.

Guevara said, โ€œWhew, oh man. So, today wasnโ€™t my day, you know, but Iโ€™ve been here before. This isnโ€™t my first loss. This isnโ€™t my first L on the scoreboard. Itโ€™s something Iโ€™m trying to remember. Itโ€™s something I wish I had known when I was younger is that this, this will pass. These bad times, these losses, as long as I donโ€™t quit and I keep continuing, these will transform, and they will transform into a win, and then one day that win will pass and go to a loss, and Iโ€™m just trying to appreciate what I have while I have it. So today wasnโ€™t my day, but if I can just show you something real quick [*Shows photo with him and Shelton Benjamin from 2009.*]. This is me from 2009.โ€

On his book not being closed yet:

โ€œI may have lost today, but Iโ€™ve been winning at life for a long, long time. And someway, somehow, I will get to my destiny. I will get to my destiny, and this loss sucks, you know, but at least weโ€™re back on Dynamite. And itโ€™s been a hell of a month for me, honestly. This loss sucks, but have you ever had to deal with a sick baby home who doesnโ€™t let you sleep because thatโ€™s hard! Shout out to Tay Melo at home right now because I know thatโ€™s difficult. Being a parentโ€™s difficult. But being a motherโ€™s a whole other thing. So, Iโ€™m gonna go change, Iโ€™m gonna go back to the proverbial drawing board, and weโ€™re gonna get back to the top, man. Someway, somehow. Iโ€™m gonna go jump on this red eye, go home, get back to my baby, thank you to the people that support me, and thereโ€™s still more greatness in Sammy Guevara. The best of Sammy Guevara is not a book that is closed, itโ€™s the book that Iโ€™m writing right now.โ€
