More On Sammy Guevara and Tay Melo No-Showing AAA Event, Company Reportedly Frustrated

As previously reported, Sammy Guevara and Tay Melo were stripped of the AAA mixed tag team championships, with Flammer & Abismo Negro Jr. becoming the new champions.

In the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, it was noted that the reason Konnan gave for the decision was not the actual one. During the show, Konnan said the two had a list of demands before they would return, so he took the belts from them. Instead, the reason they didn’t appear is because AEW pulled them from the event.

The reason AEW pulled the two from the show was because Melo had a match set for last night’s Dynamite. That match, which saw Melo and Anna Jay defeat Ruby Soho and Willow Nightingale, was originally set to happen before the AAA event. However, Willow was sick. So the match was postponed to last night and Melo couldn’t appear as a result.

AAA is reportedly wanting to put its titles back on members of its active roster due to frustration over outside wrestlers missing appearances. Although it was noted that the one exception is Kenny Omega. It was said that if Omega went back to Mexico, they would likely put their top title back on him.
