On a recent edition of his “The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy” podcast, Matt shared when he learned of Guevara’s suspension from AEW. He said,
“The whole thing about Sammy being suspended was all new to me until broken by Sean Ross Sapp, that was all new to me, but it is what it is, I guess.”

This incident highlights the importance of adhering to established protocols and guidelines in professional wrestling. The safety and well-being of the performers should always be a top priority. In this case, Guevara’s decision to continue the match despite the potential risk to Jeff Hardy’s health resulted in disciplinary action.
AEW has been known for its commitment to providing a safe working environment for its wrestlers. The company has implemented various measures to ensure the physical and mental well-being of its talent. This includes regular medical check-ups, concussion testing, and strict adherence to protocols during matches.
While accidents can happen in any physical sport or entertainment industry, it is crucial for organizations like AEW to maintain open lines of communication with their talent. In this instance, Matt Hardy’s lack of awareness regarding Guevara’s suspension raises questions about the effectiveness of AEW’s internal communication processes.
Moving forward, it is essential for AEW to address any shortcomings in their communication system to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. Wrestlers and staff members should be promptly informed about disciplinary actions and other important updates to maintain transparency and trust within the organization.
As fans eagerly await the return of both Jeff Hardy and Sammy Guevara to the ring, it is hoped that this incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safety and adherence to protocols in professional wrestling. The well-being of the performers should always be paramount, ensuring that they can continue entertaining audiences for years to come.
