Sammy Guevara Wasn’t Sure How His Return From Suspension Would Be Received Backstage

Sammy Guevara returned to AEW Dynamite on July 22 after serving a suspension for inappropriate comments made towards Sasha Banks in 2016.

During his suspension, Guevara underwent sensitivity training, which he completed prior to his return.

Appearing on AEW Unrestricted, Guevara discussed his return to the company.

“The first day back, I didn’t know how people were going to be with me and everybody was very positive and nice to me. I appreciate you guys because you welcomed me back,” he said to hosts Tony Schiavone and Aubrey Edwards.

Guevara was dressed as Serpentico for his return, helping the Inner Circle pick up a victory in multi-man tag team action.

“[Chris] Jericho told me he had an idea for me coming back, I didn’t ask too many questions, I was just like, ‘Okay, cool.’ I was more working on doing the training. When I finished it, they were like, ‘Cool, we’ll send you the flight.’ I didn’t know what I was doing until probably an hour or two before the show started. Someone was like, ‘you’re going to be Serpentico.’ ‘What?’ That was my own fault for not asking questions, but I also trust Jericho, the genius that he is, whatever it’s going to be, it’s going to be great. I think it went pretty well,” he said.

Guevara is currently feuding with Matt Hardy, which began before his suspension. Hardy posted a video on his YouTube channel, warning Sammy ahead of Saturday Night Dynamite for throwing a chair at his head and busting him open.
