Update on Sammy Guevara's AEW Status
Following his encounter with Jeff Hardy on the February 16th, 2024 edition of AEW Rampage, Sammy Guevara was reportedly suspended from AEW. However, according to a recent update from Dave Meltzer, Guevara's suspension has been lifted. Despite this, there is no clear indication of when he will return to AEW, with Meltzer mentioning that while there have been ideas proposed, nothing has been finalized.
Guevara, a former three-time TNT Champion, found himself suspended for the second time in his AEW career. The first instance dates back to 2020 when controversial remarks he made about Mercedes Mone came to light from a 2016 podcast.
His most recent suspension stemmed from an incident during his match with Jeff Hardy, where Guevara inadvertently caused a broken nose to Hardy with a knee to the head. Despite the injury, the match continued, with Guevara executing his finisher and securing the victory. It was reported that this deviated from AEW's concussion protocol, as Guevara was instructed to pin Hardy following the injury, which he did not adhere to.
Despite the lack of specific commentary from Guevara regarding his suspension, he expressed gratitude to his fans in a text-only message at the conclusion of a recent vlog.
