It’s A Good Weekend: AEW Team Picks Up Some Gold (With Some Chicanery)

It suits them. There are certain wrestlers who are perfectly suited as villains and the fans can sense it. They know when these wrestlers are as vile as can be and they deserve to be booed. It makes sense for wrestling promotions to present them in ways that are going to draw as much heat from the crowd as possible and now two of the best around are getting additional help.

Sammy Guevara and Tay Conti won the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Titles at TripleMania XXX on Saturday night, defeating Maravilla/Latigo, Sexy Star II/Komander and defending champions Los Vipers. Guevara came to the ring on a crutch and had Parka Negra take his place, only to use his crutch to beat everyone up and score a double pin with Conti to win the titles. He also offered to pay off the referee.

Opinion: This is a good move for everyone involved, as Guevara and Conti are two of the most obnoxious heels going today and it makes sense to give them titles they can brag about. You know AEW will be all over this and presenting them as the greatest things in the world as soon as possible. I like the move and if it works out even close to as well as it can, they’ll be doing great.

What do you think of the title change? How will Guevara and Conti do as champions? Let us know in the comments below.
