AEW star Sammy Guevara finds himself suspended by the promotion in the wake of a recent television match. Guevara’s suspension stems from his bout against Jeff Hardy, featured on the February 16 episode of AEW Rampage. During the match, Hardy sustained a concussion, prompting Guevara to execute his finisher on him.
According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, Guevara’s suspension comes from his bout against Jeff Hardy. The report indicates that Guevara failed to adhere to concussion protocol during the match, proceeding to execute his finisher on Hardy after the latter sustained an injury. Sources within AEW allegedly assert that such actions were unacceptable.
However, specific details regarding the duration of Guevara’s suspension remain undisclosed. He also participated in a No Disqualification match against Powerhouse Hobbs but is yet to comment on the situation. Meanwhile, Jeff Hardy’s return to action remains uncertain, with no clear timetable provided.
Sammy Guevara: A history of suspension in AEW
Sammy Guevara faces a third suspension in AEW, adding to his history of disciplinary actions. This latest suspension is not his first, as Guevara previously faced consequences for controversial remarks about Mercedes Mone and a backstage incident involving Eddie Kingston.
In June 2020, resurfaced comments from a 2016 podcast came to light, where Guevara made inappropriate remarks about wrestler Mercedes Mone (then known as Sasha Banks). He was subsequently suspended by AEW and issued a public apology, taking full responsibility for his words. Mone also confirmed communication and an “open discussion” with Guevara regarding the incident.
In 2022, Guevara faced another suspension due to a backstage altercation with Eddie Kingston. Guevara also took a hiatus following a backstage altercation with Andrade El Idolo, although he did not receive a suspension that time. The recurrence of disciplinary issues could raise questions about Guevara’s future with the promotion.
