Fuego Del Sol thanks the fans.
Fuegi Del Sol signed with AEW during the first episode of AEW Rampage on August 143, 2021. He last wrestled on AEW television on the Februayr 20, 2023, episode of AEW Dark: Elevation. On June 22, Fuego Del Sol announced that he will be a free agent on July 1, as his AEW contract will expire. Fuego had been sidelined since February with a foot injury, but he noted that he was cleared to return.
Speaking on Sammy Guevara's vlog, Fuego Del Sol discussed the end of his time in AEW, and he started by thanking the fans for their support.
"Where do I begin? That’s a funny word to begin with. In my official statement about me leaving AEW last week, I knew that needed to be professional. It needed to be business, so I kind of said what I needed to say, and I got to the point. But this vlog, this vlog is personal. I started my AEW career on this vlog, and it’s only right that I officially end my AEW career here as well. So let me just say, I saved this message for the fans because you guys that have watched consistently, religiously maybe, are the reason I ever got signed in the first place. You guys believed in my hard work, spent so much time in the comments, on social media, helping me grow my following. You guys are the reason that I made it this far to begin with," Fuego Del Sol said.
Fuego continued by noting that he doesn't want fans to look at the end of his time in AEW as a sad thing. Instead, he wants them to feel the joy that he does. He emphasized that he loved being part of the vlog and entertaining the fans. Fuego also made it clear that he is looking forward to the future, and he knows he will have the fans' support.
"While it sucks that I won’t be in AEW anymore, and I know that might hurt some of you, I don’t want you to look at it and be sad. I want you to look back on these moments and find the joy in it that I feel. Not only that, I want you to realize how much power your viewership, your support, your comments, your likes, has. You were able to change my life, honestly. Not only my life, my three beautiful little girls’ lives as well. For that, I am forever grateful. I love this vlog. I loved being part of it every week. I loved the traveling I had to do to get there, I loved the over 50 matches I had to lose. I loved of all that, just so every week, I could come hang out with my friends and make some hilarious content for you. That’s what I want to do continue to do. At the end of the day, the thing I love most is entertaining the audiences. Even though I’m sad it won’t be in AEW anymore, I’m so incredibly excited for what the future holds for me. I know, even back before I got signed with AEW, I was so extremely motivated because I knew how much of your support I had, and how much I knew it was gonna get me to somewhere bigger. The signing was just the cherry on top, on top of all of you guys supporting me. I feel like the cherry’s taken away, but the support is still there. I know you’ll support me wherever I go," he said.
As for his next chapter, Fuego stated that he is aiming to hit the ground running on the independent scene. He then noted that he is glad that his injury is behind him. Fuego thanked the fans again, and he highlighted the way he became friends with some of his idols. He expressed his gratitude for the experience and the way the fans supported him along the way.
"I’m gonna try to hit the ground running. I'm just thankful to be back on my feet, and this injury is behind me. I’m gonna try to hit the indies, so if you see me at an indie show, please come up. Please tell me your favorite vlog moments. Reach out to your indies all around you, and hopefully I’ll be there. I’m trying to start this World on Fire tour the right way. But I couldn’t start it without sending some type of finality here. So first and foremost, thank you to all of you, and Sammy Guevara, thank you. Fans, I just hope you guys had a fraction of the fun watching this content as much as I had actually filming the content. It has meant the world to me. I was able to get you guys behind me, and the support, and the stamp of approval of some legends that I looked up to. I was able to turn some of my idols into my best friends, and that is something to smile about. That is something to be happy about. That is something to look back on, and just smile," Fuego Del Sol said.
Fuego also noted that he'll be getting his own vlog back up and running, and fans can support him on both Patreon and Twitch.
