Sammy Guevara recently appeared on the AEW Unrestricted podcast.
During the appearance, he revealed the idea that he came up, which was to jump off a portion of the stadium that was used to host the Stadium Stampede Match at the AEW Double or Nothing pay-per-view event.
Here is what he had to say:
“I kept texting Tony (Khan) saying I would jump off the stadium. The stadium is like 200 feet or something like that. I think he thought I was joking so I texted him again and said I was serious. They got this stunt coordinator. We were only approved for 40 feet, so the stadium was out of the question. I wanted to do some cool flip or dive and then it slowly changed to, what if we give you a Canadian (destroyer)? I trusted Kenny to do the one-winged angel. It was raining during the whole thing. We had to stop filming as there was a storm passing by. At almost 5 A.M. when we started filming this thing, that’s when we went up there. I banged my shin getting up on that platform and it blew up like a balloon the next morning. Kenny and I were standing up there and I was thinking, this is the way I go. This is it for me. It’s the last thing of the match. We’ve been up forever and of course, it’s raining and wet. I remember being up there and looking down and thinking if this is it, I had a good run. It was a scary moment.”
