Tay Conti Reveals Sammy Guevara Taught Her To Moonsault For AEW Full Gear 2021

Tay Conti has revealed she enlisted the help of Sammy Guevara to learn to do a moonsault for her Women's Championship match at AEW Full Gear 2021.

Conti was unsuccessful in her hunt to take the AEW Women's Title off Britt Baker at the promotion's most recent pay-per-view, but did perform a a moonsault in a match for the first time ever.

Conti says TNT Champion Guevara was instrumental in her gaining the confidence to do the move after days practising at trampoline parks and in the ring.

Speaking during an appearance on Elite POV, Conti said: "I told Sammy (Guevara) because I'm real close to him and I was talking to him about the match and was like, 'I want to do something different that I never did before' because I always need to do one thing that I never did before.

"We were going to trampoline parks and I was not able to do a backflip at all. He was like, 'You can do it.' No, I can not. In three days, I was doing a moonsault with him. He's so confident and I trusted him. He had a lot of patience with me. We have like 100 videos on my phone.

"After the trampoline park, we went there like three times, and then I had to try in the ring. I was super nervous. There were people around and I was like, 'what if I can't do it?' 'what if I get hurt?' 'What if?' 'What if?' No, stop thinking, you're going to do it. He was there to help me and I trust him. He's good. I did it a couple of times in the ring, first from the apron to the outside and he was like, 'now we're going to try from the top.'

"I tried like a couple days before the pay-per-view was the first time I really tried from the top to the inside and I hit it a couple of times and felt confident. I really want to try to the outside and he was like, 'I don't think that's necessary.' 'How am I going to do it for the first time ever in a pay-per-view match? I'm going to be nervous and tired.' He was like, 'You're just going to do it.' Then, it happened. I would not do it without his help."
