Andrade El Idolo and Sammy Guevara were reportedly involved in a legitimate
physical backstage altercation before Wednesday’s episode of AEW Dynamite went
on the air, per a report from TMZ Sports that was confirmed by the Wrestling
Observer. There are conflicting reports as to who started the incident. The
incident led to El Idolo being sent home from the show, while Guevara was not
sent home after the incident and still teamed with Chris Jericho against Bryan
Danielson and Daniel Garcia on Dynamite. El Idolo was scheduled for a match
against Preston “10” Vance on AEW Rampage this Friday. AEW CEO Tony Khan
announced prior to Dynamite that El Idolo vs. Vance is off Friday’s Rampage.
Tensions between El Idolo and Guevara had been building as the two got into a
heated exchange on Twitter earlier this week. The exchange started after El
Idolo told media outlet Mas Lucha that Guevara is the one wrestler who he's had
an issue with in AEW. El Idolo said Guevara once complained in the locker room
that El Idolo hit him too hard during a match. Guevara responded to the
interview by tweeting that El Idolo was a “favor hire” who wouldn’t have a job
if Ric Flair wasn’t his father-in-law. Guevara also tweeted that El Idolo has
failed to get over in both AEW and WWE. The exchange included El Idolo tweeting
that he would see Guevara on Wednesday. This is the second backstage incident
involving Guevara in recent months. In August, it was reported that Eddie
Kingston had completed a two-week suspension after "pie-facing" Guevara.
Kingston was unhappy that Guevara called him fat during a promo that was taped
for AEW television. Kingston and Guevara have since apologized to each other and
moved on from their issues.
