Fuego Del Sol took on the TNT Champion Miro at the debut episode of AEW Rampage. The idea was that if he wins; he gets the AEW contract.
Unfortunately, Miro absolutely destroyed Del Sol in the match. It was a short match, and once Miro established his dominance, there wasn’t much Fuego Del Sol could do.
Therefore, when he lost the match, everyone assumed this was the end for Fuego Del Sol at AEW. However, Tony Khan decided otherwise!
