Sammy Guevara had been absent for a few months, as he was suspended when concussion protocol was not followed in his match against Jeff Hardy at the February 14th taping of AEW Collision. He made his return at the ROH tapings in Arlington in Texas, and he competed there as well.

On his latest vlog, Sammy Guevara discussed his return.

“What a trip. This was literally my first time being back on the road in literally five months. Had some matches, I felt good out there. The Texas crowd always showing me love, so thank you, Arlington. It was a cool set-up, too. It was a different vibe than the normal entrance set-up that they have. I’m digging it. I made my return, and it was in Ring of Honor, which I think no one expected that, and I see some people complaining online, like, ‘What’s he doing in Ring of Honor?’ It’s like guys, I’m just happy to be back in the ring. It’s been a long time time I was in a ring. It’s been a long time since I’ve been wrestling out there. So I’m just happy. I’m happy with it. Me coming back right now, I’ve had so much time off to really just think to myself, what [do] I want? What does Sammy Guevara want out of wrestling? Truthfully, I just want to be the best version of myself. That might sound corny or generic, but I’m just tired of standing in my own way. I can go and say it’s because of this or because of that I’m not where I am, but ultimately, you have the choice to go and be the person that you want to be, and that’s what I want to do. When I come back right now, I just want this to be the best version of Sammy Guevara, and I don’t want to stand in my own way, and I want to just keep giving my best. Whatever comes my way, whether it’s Ring of Honor, whether it’s Collision, Dynamite, whatever it is, you put me in that wrestling ring, and I’m just gonna give it my all, man, and I hope that I can make myself proud, that in a couple months, I can watch back and say, ‘Hey, you’re doing alright,'” Guevara said.

Guevara has since won the ROH World Tag Team Championship with Dustin Rhodes. They retained the titles against Mike Bennett and Matt Taven on the September 21st episode of AEW Collision.

At AEW Collisio Grand Slam, Guevara is set to face Kazuchika Okada. More information is available here.
