Guevara and Andrade’s back-and-forth began when Sammy called Andrade a “favor hire” and a “jobber” seemingly in reference to comments Andrade made about him in an interview. According to Andrade, Sammy got upset recently that Andrade hit him too hard in the ring. Andrade referred to Sammy’s reaction as “he accused me like a little girl”.
Things went south from there with the following discourse between the two:
I said it to your FACE if you had a problem with me and you said NOTHING, I wont beat your ass because im a professional, don’t be scared.
When I say something I name names, and im not scared to get fired!

AEW’s Ricky Starks responded by tweeting…and then deleting…
“Man, can my co workers just shut the f–k up for a minute?”
In recent weeks Andrade appears to be posting his frustration with AEW commenting with an hourglass icon, retweeting a comment that he isn’t being used properly and using the hashtag “#FreeElIIdolo”.
This is yet another very public squabble between members of the AEW roster. Another recent spat saw CM Punk, The Young Bucks, Kenny Omega and others suspended by the company.
