Official Wrestling News Thread

After their back and forth over the last couple days you knew a fight was happening, how AEW let these dudes near each other shows how trash the people in charge are.
 
So both had a hand in the backstage altercation and only one person is told to go home. This is why Sammy does the shit he do because Con gives him passes

More details emerge on AEW backstage fight between Andrade and Sammy Guevara

It sounds like Andrade was trying to get fired by AEW when he incited a backstage incident with Sammy Guevara at AEW Dynamite.

He said it’s true that Andrade wants out of AEW, and this incident was his way of trying to force Tony Khan’s hand to release him:

“Andrade’s trying to get fired...There’s a few people, and it’s not that many, it’s like three, that want to leave [AEW]. And Andrade is one of them.”
“Tuesday night they were talked to, both of them, and they were told no fighting. Andrade was told that...you’re not gonna get fired if you fight, but you will be sent home. And Andrade said don’t worry, nothing’s gonna happen, there’s gonna be no fighting...Sammy [said] the same thing. Nothing’s gonna happen. They had security there. Everybody was warned ahead of time.”

Meltzer went on to explain that Sammy wasn’t sent home because he didn’t fight back after Andrade threw punches:

“Andrade was waiting in the hallway. He got two punches in before it was broken up, and Sammy didn’t fight back...[Andrade] did throw two punches and then it was broken up right away, and Andrade was sent home...It was broken up immediately, people were there, and people saw it.”

So to recap, the general consensus from the people who witnessed the altercation is that:

“Andrade hit him. Sammy didn’t him. Andrade was sent home. Sammy wasn’t sent home. And Sammy didn’t do anything wrong...it was basically a blindside sucker punch.”

Meltzer acknowledged that Sammy’s tweets earlier in the week made the situation worse. AEW wasn’t asleep at the wheel, but Andrade was determined to do what he had to do to get fired by Tony Khan:

“[Guevara] was talked to, and hopefully these situations don’t happen again.”
“This was Andrade’s way out. And it’s the argument of, if a guy doesn’t want to be here, they become a cancer in the locker room.”

Meltzer also mentioned there is general unrest in the AEW locker room following the story of WWE tampering with their talent after Triple H assumed power following Vince McMahon’s resignation:

“WWE contacted all these people, and it has been incredibly successful for WWE. In the sense of, contacting people, or in some cases working through intermediaries, letting people know that they want them...and it has created incredible unrest in AEW. And that’s legit.”

If Meltzer’s understanding of this incident is accurate, then Tony Khan is now faced with a decision on whether to fire Andrade (who has multiple years remaining on his AEW contract) or pay him to stay home.
 
Get Andrade ass outta here. They got the better version anyway with RUSH. I got tired of his long pronouncing words promos anyway.
