Del Sol utilized his fast-paced offense to keep &#8220;God&#8217;s Favorite Champion&#8221; on the defensive. Despite momentum at the onset, the challenger was quickly dispatched courtesy of Miro and his Game Over submission maneuver. Post-match, Miro took the aforementioned contract and ripped it in half. As Del Sol rose to his feet, <strong>Sammy Guevara<\/strong> and AEW Founder and CEO <strong>Tony Khan<\/strong> came through the entrance. On Khan&#8217;s behalf, Guevara made the announcement that Fuego Del Sol is All Elite.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Dream do come true!

In 2017, for the latter promotion, he won the IWR Revolutionary Championship, holding it for 196 days. Del Sol would start working matches for AEW in May of 2020, early in the &#8220;Pandemic Era&#8221; of professional wrestling. Most of his matches took place on <strong>AEW Dark<\/strong>, losing all matches in the promotion throughout the year.<\/p>\n<p>Fuego Del Sol would also appear in multiple backstage segments, including on <strong>AEW Dynamite<\/strong>. Recently, he was seen attempting to separate a brawl between <strong>Cody Rhodes<\/strong> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2021\/07\/07\/malakai-black-aleister-black-debuts-aew-dynamite\/\" target=\"_self\"><strong>Malakai Black<\/strong><\/a>, only to receive a knockout kick from the latter.
