In a surprising turn of events, former AEW TNT Champion Sammy Guevara’s suspension from the Jacksonville-based promotion has reportedly been lifted, according to the Wrestling Observer Network Newsletter. This development comes months after Guevara was suspended following a No Disqualification Match against Jeff Hardy on Rampage in February 2024.
During the match, Guevara botched an attempted Shooting Star Press, which left Hardy concussed. Despite being told to finish the match immediately, Guevara proceeded to perform a GTS, involving contact with his knee to Hardy’s head, to secure the victory. The incident led to Guevara’s suspension, with the GTS being cited as the reason behind the disciplinary action.
Although Guevara’s suspension has been lifted, it remains unclear how the former TNT Champion will be reintegrated into AEW’s storylines. The question on everyone’s mind is: what’s next for Sammy Guevara?
The recent return of Jack Perry, who was suspended following his real-life brawl with CM Punk, might provide some insight. Perry marked his return at the Dynasty pay-per-view last month, where he aligned himself with The Young Bucks. Since then, Perry and The Elite have been involved in a series of high-profile feuds, including an invasion of the Jacksonville-based company, which saw them clash with AEW honcho Tony Khan and former world champion Kenny Omega on separate episodes of Dynamite.
Guevara’s situation bears some resemblance to Perry’s, and it will be interesting to see if The Spanish God can capitalize on the momentum created by Perry’s return. Will Guevara be able to make a successful comeback, or will he struggle to regain his footing in the competitive world of AEW? Only time will tell.
One thing is certain, however: with The Young Bucks rallying behind Perry, the stage is set for an exciting and unpredictable ride in AEW. As the promotion continues to navigate the ever-changing terrain of professional wrestling, one thing is clear: the return of Sammy Guevara is just the beginning of a new chapter in AEW’s story.
