Tony Khan Provides Update On Sammy Guevara’s AEW Status, Defends Guevara From Criticism

An update on Sammy Guevara’s status with AEW.

There was speculation about Sammy Guevara’s status with All Elite Wrestling as the company name was no longer in his social media bio.

AEW President Tony Khan addressed that on the Redemption pay-per-view media call. Khan said he doesn’t think Guevara ever had AEW in his bio. He added that he received a nice message from the three-time TNT Champion and went on to defend Guevara from online criticism.

“Sammy (Guevara), I thought it was unusual that people said there was a change in Sammy’s status because nothing has changed. Sammy’s done well. He’s wrestling in Ring of Honor more often. He’s done some good things in AEW and he’s one-half of the ROH World Tag Team Champions — had appeared in AEW with L.F.I… As I understand it, when Sammy changed his bio, I don’t think Sammy ever had AEW in the bio in the first place so I don’t think it was any negative change and I got a nice message from Sammy saying he wasn’t trying to do anything bad and he loves AEW, and I believe that, and Sammy has been a good wrestler for us in AEW and ROH. He’s a great talent and a very good person, so I don’t think he meant to do anything, and it seemed like people jumped on him for something he didn’t even do. Certainly just messing around with the Twitter bio. It’s pretty amazing how people would jump to conclusions but also jump on him, and in my opinion, in this case, probably unfairly…”

Khan revealed on the media call that Tay Melo, Guevara’s wife, requested her release from AEW, and he will be granting her release. More on that can be read here.
