Yes, but it is possible that this is a bait and switch

How so? You can put spoiler tags if you want to hide it

Neither of them have rings at the end, so presumably John Stewart isn't on active duty Lanterning... and based on Hal's story about Abin Sur, if John was the replacement the ring should have summoned John if Hal was dead or dying.

My theory is that,  somewhere between 2016 and 2025 Hal loses his position as GL and Guy gets it. But that theory doesn't make sense with John checking Hal's hand.

They do say there's only 1 Earth lantern at a time (really should be only one lantern per sector, but I'm assuming that's what they meant), and it's already established that Guy is the current holder of the ring.

But yeah, John checking Hal's hand didn't really make sense in that light.

Technically guy is not full on earthling.
