An altercation went down off-screen which caused Eddie Kingston to get in trouble.
We’ve not seen Eddie Kingston on AEW TV in weeks and his scheduled match against Sammy Guevara for All Out was not promoted on this weeks AEW Dynamite when they ran down the All Out card. Well, it seems Eddie Kingston was suspended and Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select revealed details as to why, with news of a altercation going down between Kingston and Guevara off-screen. You can read the full report below.
Eddie Kingston and Sammy Guevara were supposed to compete at All Out, but that doesn’t seem like it’s happening. AEW hasn’t confirmed one way or another, but Eddie Kingston has been off television the last couple of weeks, with Fightful gaining word he was briefly suspended by the company. Fightful has been unable to confirm that with All Elite Wrestling, but have heard that he’s already completed it. Kingston has not been present at recent All Elite Wrestling segments, and we’ve been told of at least one segment to build up the once-planned All Out match that was scrapped. Rumors among talent that we’ve heard about said that Guevara and Kingston had developed heat and it devolved into an “altercation.” The word backstage was that Guevara made a comment about Kingston’s physique, and Kingston took a swing at him. We’ve not confirmed that with anyone that witnessed it, and reached out to both parties. The feud is continuing, as Sammy Geuvara and Tay Melo are taking on Ortiz and Ruby Soho on Rampage. Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp noted ahead of AEW Dynamite on Twitter that All Out changes were happening. At that time, there were no matches that were publicly set for the show that would end up on the actual card. We haven’t learned if this situation has since been rectified, or the status of the match moving forward.
