Chris Jericho has revealed that Sammy Guevara has sustained an injury that is likely to keep him on the shelf.
Guevara has been missing out on in-ring due to multiple injuries in the recent past. Last year, he suffered a concussion during WrestleDream pay-per-view event. During a trios tag match, Guevara joined forces with Konosuke Takeshita and Will Ospreay to face off Chris Jericho, Kenny Omega, and Kota Ibushi. This battle culminated with Guevara pinning Chris Jericho.
Sammy Guevara injured
The former TNT Champion has yet again suffered an injury on last week’s AEW Battle of the Belts IX. Ricky Starks and Big Bill put their AEW World Tag Team Championship on the line against Chris Jericho and Sammy Guevara in a Street Fight.
In the final moments of the match, Guevara dived off a lighting rig onto Starks. However, Powerhouse Hobbs pulled Starks out of the way to make the save and Guevara crashed onto the floor as Starks pinned him for the win. It seems that it was at this moment, ‘The Spanish God’ sustained an injury. Here’s what Chris Jericho said:
"Be careful what you wish for" – Chris Jericho.

Sammy Guevara eyeing to be cautious in the ring
Sammy Guevara has high-flying moves in his arsenal but they are quite risky to execute. A slight mistake could lead to injuries. Though he attempted a risky move this past week, Guevara had previously stated that he would be more cautious with his high-flying spots in the ring now that he and Tay Melo are parents.
The couple recently welcomed their first child, a baby girl Luna. Guevara could not be happier to be a dad but given his new role as a father, he needs to be more cautious.
Speaking on the Insight podcast, Guevara spoke about how becoming a dad will likely change his wrestling style. He said:
“It’s pretty cool for sure and now it’s got me thinking differently just in wrestling. Because I’m used to doing all the ‘I’m Crazy ‘ stuff but now I’m like, yeah, I guess I can’t be that crazy anymore… I don’t know if we’re going to dial it back but I think we’ll be more selective with how and when we do the crazy stuff.”
The details of the injury are yet to be disclosed but fans are hoping that it won’t keep him away from the squared circle much longer.
We at SEScoops wish Sammy Guevara a speedy recovery.
