Sammy Guevara Says Sting Was Supposed To Move On 630 At Forbidden Door, Sting Took Responsibility

Sammy Guevara reflects on 630 spot at Forbidden Door. 

At AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, Sting teamed with Tetsuya Naito & Darby Allin to face Minoru Suzuki & The Jericho Appreciation Society (Chris Jericho & Sammy Guevara). During the bout, Guevara hit a 630 through a table on Sting, who tried to move, but didn’t quite get out of the way. 

Speaking to Chris Van Vliet on Insight, Guevara said Sting was supposed to move. 

“He was supposed to move. For whatever reason, either the 630 was too fast, or the timing or whatever, I landed on him. I remember going through the table, and I feel his body on my back and I’m thinking, ‘Oh, I just killed Sting. Oh no.’ I land, roll off, look at him, and he pops up a minute later and finishes the match because he’s such a pro. I remember for a minute, ‘Oh no,'” Guevara recalled.

Asked what Sting said to him after, Guevara said, “He took complete total blame for it. ‘I’m sorry I didn’t move.’ I was just like, ‘Dude, I’m just happy you’re okay.’ ‘Sorry I no sold your move.’ ‘You’re good. I’m just happy you’re alive.’ Tay [Tay Melo] and I, we always pray before matches, and we think maybe Sting didn’t move on purpose or, the big guy upstairs didn’t want him to move because maybe something bad was going to happen to me if he did move. Maybe the table was going to bend over or whatever. We’re like, ‘Dude, Sting can move. He goes. Why did he not move? Maybe, something bad was going to happen if he did move.’ That’s what we’re thinking because it didn’t make sense why it happened that way. Maybe it was for the best.”

Sting, Allin & Naito were victorious in the bout. 

Guevara and Sting will be on the same team at AEW Worlds End when they join Allin & Jericho to face Powerhouse Hobbs, Konosuke Takeshita, Ricky Starks, & Big Bill. Fans can check out the lineup for AEW Worlds End by clicking here.
