Sammy Guevara Delivers Unfortunate Update on His Concussion Recovery

In the world of AEW, where every match is a high-octane thrill ride, injuries are an unfortunate part of the game. Sammy Guevara, a beloved AEW star, has been on the mend since his last match on October 1, 2023, and fans are eager to know when they can expect to see him back in action.

Guevara’s last in-ring appearance was at AEW WrestleDream in Seattle, Washington, where he teamed up with Konosuke Takeshita and Will Ospreay as part of The Don Callis Family. They faced off against the formidable trio of Chris Jericho and the Golden Lovers, Kenny Omega, and Kota Ibushi. The Don Callis Family emerged victorious in that match.

However, the drama intensified on the October 4 episode of AEW Dynamite when Don Callis dropped a bombshell. He revealed that Sammy Guevara was not medically cleared to compete, forcing him to be replaced by Kyle Fletcher in a tag team match alongside Takeshita against Jericho and Omega.

The reason for Guevara’s absence became clear – he had suffered a concussion during the AEW WrestleDream event, sidelining him from in-ring action. Despite his hopes of returning on the October 18 episode of AEW Dynamite, it appears that Guevara’s journey to recovery is still ongoing.

In an Instagram Story posted on November 2, when asked about his in-ring return, Guevara expressed his frustration, saying, “Man, I wish I had an answer. I’m still not cleared.” It’s a tough situation for any wrestler to be in, but Guevara remains determined to make a triumphant return to the squared circle.

Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer provided some insight, stating that while Guevara had experienced setbacks, he was overall making progress in his recovery from the concussion. The safety and well-being of AEW wrestlers are of paramount importance, and the company takes concussion protocols seriously, as evidenced by Tony Khan’s discussions about the issue in the past.

Fans of Sammy Guevara will have to continue to wait patiently for his return to the ring, but there’s no doubt that when he does make his comeback, it will be nothing short of spectacular. In the world of professional wrestling, setbacks are part of the journey, and Guevara’s resilience and determination will undoubtedly lead him back to the spotlight when the time is right.
