AEW Star Sammy Guevara Declares “Never” on Top Dolla Joining AEW
In a recent appearance alongside Alan “5” Angels, AEW’s reigning TNT Champion Sammy Guevara delivered a blunt verdict when asked if former WWE and Hit Row member Top Dolla would ever join All Elite Wrestling. Without missing a beat, he replied only one word: “Never.”(Wrestling Inc., WrestleTalk)
Despite the off-the-cuff nature of the livestream banter, it resonates with a larger context. Top Dolla, whose real name is AJ Francis, engaged in a public social media clash with AEW’s own Young Bucks—taking shots at their sneaker game, among other things.(Sportskeeda) While that may have added fuel to the fire, Sammy’s terse dismissal suggests the sentiment extends beyond mere theatrics.
Interestingly, it’s not just Guevara taking a firm stance: Swerve Strickland, Top Dolla’s former Hit Row stablemate and current leader of Mogul Embassy in AEW, has also acknowledged that there’s no room for Dolla in his faction at present—urging him to carve his own path instead.(Sportskeeda)
For fans wondering whether this is a hard “never” or a temporary barrier, the debate remains open. Sammy’s comment seems more like a quick quip than an official company line—but given the heat Top Dolla appears to have generated both backstage and online, the path to AEW looks decidedly uphill.
