* VillainousFriendship: Parodied and subverted with MJF during the Four Pillars Tournament. After striking a deal with MJF that he'll help Sammy cheat his way through the tournament in exchange for Sammy throwing the fight in ''Double or Nothing 2023'', the two constantly act as if they're best friends with each other. However, it's made apparent how the friendship isn't genuine. Eventually during their tag-team match against Wrestling/DarbyAllin and "Jungle Boy" Jack Perry, the friendship falls apart completely due to MJF refusing to allow Sammy to take the pin, resulting in Sammy attacking MJF and ending the partnership.

** He left the Inner Circle permanently in February 2022, fed up with the infighting that was occuring within the group. He returned to Jericho's side in June when he joined the Wrestling/JerichoAppreciationSociety.
** The best example of this is on the 8/16/23 episode of ''Dynamite'', when after the rest of the Jericho Appreciation Society walked out on him the week prior, Don Callis turned on Jericho by having him brutally assaulted by Will Osperay and Konosuke Takeshita...[[BigDamnHeroes only for Sammy to come his friend's rescue.]]

* ArchEnemy:
** As a Heel: Wrestling/DarbyAllin, Wrestling/MattHardy.
** As a Face: Wrestling/{{MJF}}, [[Wrestling/RusevAndLana Miro]], Scorpio Sky.
* AttentionWhore: Really loves the attention, to the point of livestreaming his own fights.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Most of the times, he'll be comic relief. But be warned, he can be very vicious when fighting in the ring, and he became the first man to overcome Miro in 1-on-1 competition.
* BullyingADragon: In MLW, he taunted Rush with his own signature taunt. El Toro Blanco was understandably not amused.
* CasanovaWannabe: Hits on any woman with a pulse in a mile radius and thinks of himself as a great ladies man. This is not the case at all.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "Be mad!", especially directed by haters.
* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: Was the first wrestler in AEW to defeat the TNT Champion Miro.

* {{Jobber}}: Oddly, despite being the Wrestling/{{AAA}} Cruiseweight Champion at the time, he rarely ever won matches in MLW.
* ManiacTongue: Oh boy, he really gets his tongue out frequently, especially as a Heel.

* PowerStable: In MLW, he was briefly part of Wrestling/PromocionesDorado. He was fired after losing too many times, though notably he was let off rather easily as Salina did it over a phone call rather than a beat down.
** In AEW, he was part of the Wrestling/InnerCircle, and now joins the Wrestling/JerichoAppreciationSociety. Curiously enough, Jericho is the leader of both factions.
* RedBaron: "The Best Ever", "The Spanish God".

* SpoiledBrat: When he was a Heel his gimmick could best be described as "the Inner Circle's obnoxious, rich-boy son".
* TalkingWithSigns: He has a thing for showing up on camera with a stack of large paper signs which he shows off and throws away one by one to cut sardonically silent promos. {{Subverted|Trope}} when he came out to deliver a BackhandedApology to Matt Hardy for busting him open with a chair, only for Matt to get at his signs without him realising it and rewrite them to insult Sammy instead, with the last two declaring that Sammy was about to be "DELETED!" right before Matt jumps him and beats him up.
* TrueCompanions: As well as being part of the Inner Circle, he's best buds with Fuego Del Sol.
* WorthyOpponent: Wrestling/CodyRhodes, especially in the latter's final match in AEW, where the American Nightmare gained the respect of the Spanish God.
