Kip Sabian had the honor of competing in the first-ever All Elite Wrestling (AEW) singles match.
He competed against Sammy Guevara at Double or Nothing, emerging with an important win to kickstart his AEW career.
Sabian recently joined Chris Van Vliet for a sit down interview. During their conversation, Kip would talk about how he ended up in AEW, moving to the United States and, importantly, who was the person that scouted him for the promotion.
He admits that he didn’t know that his match with Guevara would be closing the Buy-In pre-show. When Sabian found out, he realized that he was now at the “next level” and that, no matter what, he will always be the first person to win a singles match in AEW.
But the man who helped him get into this position in the first place? “The Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels.
He credits Daniels as “instrumental” in everything that has happened to him over the last few years, remembering the amount of advice he imparted to him during car rides they shared. According to him, Daniels put in a good word for him on his behalf. That word would lead him to sign with the burgeoning AEW, giving him the break he dreamed of.
Kip Sabian performed at AEW’s recent Fight For The Fallen event. He would lose to “Hangman” Adam Page.
