After an entertaining loss in his AEW World title match against current champion MJF last Wednesday night, the aforementioned Daniel Garcia went on to lose once again just days later in singles competition against Andrade El Idolo. Many have questioned why he was booked to lose shortly after a breakout performance. 

According to Henry, the wins and losses don’t matter as much for Garcia, who turned 25 earlier this year and has been touted as a future champion. 

“Daniel Garcia is in that category of young guys where you look and he’s got a lot of wrestling ahead of him … wait your turn, you’re gonna get your shot,” Henry explained. “If I was ever gonna start a wrestling company, Daniel Garcia is one of the guys I would roll with. It’s about his future and not right now. In my opinion, Daniel Garcia is a guy that I don’t take a lot of stock in him having a loss here and there because of his youth and where his future is gonna be.”

Garcia has been given a small taste of a main-event push since signing with AEW over two years ago, trading victories with Bryan Danielson in a critically-acclaimed feud, before ultimately teaming up with Chris Jericho prior to the J.A.S disbanding. Despite being portrayed as a heel for the majority of his run with AEW, Garcia has become a popular performer, with his trademark dance and immense technical ability getting the audience on his side.
