Sammy Guevara proposed to his girlfriend Pam Nizio before AEW Dynamite went on air.

The rising star got down on one knee to pop the question in front of a raucous hometown crowd on Wednesday night after inviting his partner of eight years into the ring as he thanked her for always having his back.

While addressing the fans, he said: ‘One of my biggest supporters is sitting right here on the front row, my girlfriend of eight years, Pam Nizio.

‘Houston, just so you can understand, she’s been with me when I had no car, when I worked at Taco Bell, when I was wrestling in front of seven people.

‘She’s been with me through the bad times, through the good times, you’ve been with me the entire time. So for that, I want to say thank you Pam.’

The crowd obliged with chanting their own thanks, before Sammy said ‘screw it’ and asked her to join him in the ring.

‘Pam, I’ve often wondered on this journey, what would I do without you? And I wanna make sure I never have to find that out,’ he said before taking a ring from Tony Schiovane (who had been interviewing him in the ring) and getting down on one knee.

He then asked: ‘Pam Nizio, will you marry me?’

The pair are now engaged, and the fans responded with chants of ‘she said yes’ as they kissed in the middle of the ring.

Not everyone was feeling celebratory though, as Sammy’s on-screen rival Shawn Spears later mocked the moment during Dynamite after a replay was shown on air.

‘Slim pickings in Houston, huh,’ he quipped as he and Tully Blanchard sarcastically applauded the promo. ‘Congratulations are in order, therefore I’ll give it to you Pam.

‘When you’re in the Pinnacle, you are always on top so tonight – for one night only – Pam, I’m gonna make you an honorary member of Pinnacle. And for one night only Pam, I’ll let you be on top.’

They later met in the ring, with Guevara picking up the win.
