5 Wrestlers who worked regular jobs before signing with AEW

#3. AEW Star Sammy Guevara

AEW Star Sammy Guevara kicked off his pro-wrestling career in 2013. He appeared on a few wrestling promotions before signing a contract with AEW in February 2019.

On May 25, Guevara made his AEW debut at the 2019 Double or Nothing pay-per-view, suffering a defeat against Kip Sabian. A few months later, he joined forces with Chris Jericho, Jake Hager and Santana and Ortiz to form The Inner Circle.

Guevara and the leader of The Inner Circle, Chris Jericho, challenged Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky for the AEW Tag Team Championships in November 2019 but failed to capture the titles.

Before joining AEW and becoming a staple for the brand, the 28-year-old had to earn a living working a regular job. The current AEW Star worked at Taco Bell before he became known to thousands of wrestling fans. He recently spoke about his struggles as he proposed to his girlfriend, Pam Vizio, at an AEW Dynamite event last month.

"She's been with me when I had no car, when I worked at Taco Bell, when I was wrestling in front of seven people, She's been with me through the bad times and good times, you've been there the entire time. And for that, I want to say thank you, Pam", he said.

Sammy Guevara currently has an ongoing four-match winning streak in AEW. At AEW Dark: Elevation, he teamed up with Fuego Del Sol to defeat Luther and Serpentico.
