Booker T is worried that Sammy Guevara is starting to get "go away heat" from AEW fans.

The WWE legend told fans via his 'Hall Of Fame' podcast that Sammy has made some crucial mistakes to elicit frosty responses from the All Elite faithful. Firstly, Book didn't think it was a good idea for Guevara to propose to his now-ex on TV. Second, he's not sure that rubbing his current relationship with Tay Conti in everyone's faces is doing either party any good.

Former WCW and WWE World Champ Booker added that he's concerned those boos could be considered "go away heat". He also pondered whether or not similar reactions prompted Cody Rhodes to leave AEW behind and resign with WWE earlier this year.

No, Book is not suggesting that Sammy and/or Conti will do the same.

The Hall Of Famer did, however, say that "every young girl in the country" would've been disappointed when Guevara started flaunting his romance with Tay on social media. Booker definitely thinks that this had a negative impact on Sammy's TV character, and that the relationship is responsible for at least some of the boos.
