AEW TNT Championship changed hands on this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite. This comes after Scorpio Sky defeated the defending champion, Sammy Guevara, in a singles match that was filled with shenanigans.
With Guevara being in control of the match, he went for his signature 630 splash from the turnbuckle to Sky. A table was set up on a table at ringside as Sky avoided the finisher and Sammy ended up going through the table with strong momentums.
Sammy’s girlfriend, Tay Conti then came out to check on Guevara alongside a doctor who looked over him. Suddenly, Paige Van Zant (who was sitting at ringside on AEW Dynamite) a fellow member of American Top Team with Scorpio Sky started talking trash about Tay Conti while she was checking on Sammy.

Conti was eventually sent to the steel ring steps while the other Top Talent members Ethan Page, Dan Lambert caused distractions from the ringside to Sammy. He got hit with Scorpio Sky’s finishing cutter for the pinfall loss. Afterward, Paige Van Zant entered and delivered a beatdown on Sammy and Conti.
