Dustin Rhodes defeats Sammy Guevara

AEW Dynamite February 12

When the bell rang, Sammy slipped out of the ring. Dustin caught Sammy running in and took the early part of the match until Sammy bailed out again. Dustin hit Sammy with a running clothesline off the steel stairs. Jake Hagar’s distraction didn’t have any impact as Dusting still caught Sammy trying to come off the stairs. Dynamite went to commercial.

Back from the break, things seemed even. Sammy kicked Dustin in the face, but Dustin answered with a powerslam. Hager provided another distraction and Guevara hit a go to sleep. From the top rope, Sammy got caught twice and then Dustin hit a Canadian Destroyer and the Final Reckoning for the pinfall victory.
