Top AEW Stars Squash Backstage Beef
In a chaotic month for AEW, these two wrestlers have put their issues behind them.
Sammy Guevara and Eddie Kingston have put their beef behind them.
Per Fightful Select, the two All Elite Wrestling stars met at yesterday's Dynamite tapings in Chicago, Illinois and agreed to leave their issues in the past. There's no word on what, exactly, was said between the duo, but they had a conversation and ended up shaking hands, which PWInsider has also confirmed.
PWInsider's report states that the duo apologised to each other for the events that led to Kingston being served a two-week suspension. Everybody is now moving on from the issue, which caused the cancellation of a planned All Out 2022 pay-per-view match between Eddie and Sammy.
News that Kingston had recent served a suspension for a backstage altercation with Guevara broke last week. Eddie is believed to have taken umbrage with Sammy calling him a "fat piece of sh*t" in a promo that ended up going unaired, leading to an argument - and Kingston attempting to pie-face the Jericho Appreciation Society man. Kingston was then suspended for putting his hands on Guevara.
Both men issued statements last week. Kingston apologised for his actions, taking full ownership, while Guevara claimed that AEW wrestlers are supposed to let each other know what they can and can't say in promos, which Eddie hadn't done in this case. The crux of Eddie's problem with Sammy's line is that he was due to defeat Guevara at All Out, which wouldn't mean anything if the former TNT Champion fell to a "fat piece of sh*t."
Kingston has since been booked to face NJPW star Tomohiro Ishii on All Out's Zero Hour pre-show. Guevara was not on the pay-per-view card at the time of writing.
