Report: Top AEW Star Suspended, All Out Match Cancelled
Backstage AEW altercation leads to a top star's suspension - and an All Out match being scrapped.
Eddie Kingston and Sammy Guevara's teased AEW All Out 2022 singles match will not be taking place on the 4 September pay-per-view following a backstage altercation between the duo.
Fightful Select reports that Kingston, who hasn't been on television for the past few weeks, was suspended by AEW. While this hasn't been directly confirmed by the promotion, it is believed that Kingston has already served his time.
The problems stemmed from backstage heat between the two, which seemingly reached a boiling point in the aforementioned altercation. It is believed that Kingston swung at Guevara after Sammy had made a comment on his physique, which, while unconfirmed with witnesses, is the rumour that was doing the rounds in the company.
At least one segment designed to build the All Out match was scrapped as a consequence of all this. Now, the feud progressing in the form of Guevara and Tay Melo vs. Ruby Soho and Ortiz, which has been booked for Friday's Rampage show. There is currently no word on whether or not AEW will look to rebook Guevara vs. Kingston in the future.
All Out 2022 takes place in Chicago, IL on Sunday 4 September.
