Fuego wrestled against Miro for the TNT Championship on Friday’s Rampage episode with the stipulation that if he won, he would also get an AEW contract. He lost, but after the match, Tony Khan came out onto the stage with Sammy Guevara and handed Guevara a contract. Guevara came into the ring, called Fuego his best friend, and presented him with a full time AEW contract in a pretty sweet moment.

It’s the biggest match of @FuegoDelSol’s life! Will he win an #AEW contract and the TNT Title from @ToBeMiro TONIGHT?
