Tony Khan Shoots Down Speculation Around Sammy Guevara’s AEW Status

Tony Khan has put a lid on speculation about Sammy Guevara’s status with AEW over a change to his Twitter bio. As noted, Guevara posted to Twitter to write simply “new bio” earlier this week, and it was noticed that he did not have AEW listed in said bio. The bio read simply, “World Champion, Husband, Father & Professional Wrestler.” That caused people to wonder about his AEW status, with speculation (not confirmed by any outlet) that he could be on his way out.

Khan was asked about his status on the media call promoting AEW Redemption, and noted that he didn’t think Guevara ever had AEW in his bio and that there is no change in his status. You can see highlights below (per PWInsider):

On Guevara’s Absence From AEW & ROH TV:

“With Sammy, I thought it was unusual that people said there was a change in his status because nothing had changed. Sammy has done well; he’s wrestling in Ring of Honor more often, he’s done good things in AEW, and as one-half of the ROH World Tag Team Champions, he appeared in AEW with LFI. It wasn’t Sammy’s fault -— Beast Mortos’s visa had been jammed up for a very long time. Because I really like Sammy and Beast Mortos, I went to CMLL and told them, ‘They’re great champions, they’ve done very well for me, and I think they’d be great for CMLL.’ They got booked in Arena México defending the championships, made a few defenses, and then lost the titles to Máscara Dorada and Místico.”

On Guevara Allegedly Removing AEW From His Twitter Bio:

“As I understand it, when Sammy changed his bio, I don’t think he ever had AEW in it in the first place, so it wasn’t a negative change. I got a nice message from Sammy saying he wasn’t trying to do anything bad and that he loves AEW, and I believe that. Sammy has been a good wrestler for us in AEW and ROH -— he’s a great talent and a very good person. I don’t think he meant anything by it, and it seemed like people jumped on him for something he didn’t even do. Just messing around with a Twitter bio -— it’s amazing how people jump to conclusions and, in my opinion, unfairly target him.”
