"Tony Khan is the biggest joke in wrestling history" - Wrestling fans go berserk after rumors of a popular AEW star deliberately trying to get fired from the company
The alleged altercation between Andrade El Idolo and Sammy Guevara has led to rumors about the Mexican star deliberately wanting to be fired from AEW.
All Elite Wrestling witnessed another unpleasant backstage incident this week as Andrade and Guevara seemingly got into a dispute. Their heated exchange led to the latter being on the receiving end of a punch from the former WWE star. As a result, Andrade was sent home, and his match against Pres10 Vance for Rampage was also called off.
Dave Meltzer recently claimed in a report that the former United States Champion might be deliberately trying to get fired from the company. He also stated that if Andrade were actually trying to do that, it would not work out in the latter's favor.
However, speculation about his alleged desire to exit has caused fans to flood Twitter with a barrage of posts. Check out some of the noteworthy responses:
I need another Andrade vs Mysterio classic Triple H I’m looking at u #wwe #tripleh #aew
@JustAlyxCentral The saddest part is that Andrade is a great talent but he’s kidding himself if he thinks WWE is going to push him to the moon if he goes back there.
WWE right now is stacked with talent too. It doesn’t matter if you had a good relationship with Triple H like 7 years ago 😂
All these former NXT guys loyal to Triple H have not contributed anything to AEW and they feel entitled to be treated like big stars. All of them should be let go

Meltzer on Andrade: "Look, Andrade's trying to get fired, we all know that."
@TrevorDame So fire him. Let him go back to WWE and live his dream with his wife. I see no reason to keep him around. See if WWE will give you the rights to King of the Ring for all of the homesick NXT guys that want out.
@TrevorDame Just let him go, he's done nothing interesting anyway. RUSH doesn't need him.

@Cultaholic Sammy pushes a guy he knows has heat with him FIRST but Andrade started the fight and is trying to get fired by fighting?
Its obvious who Tony Khans boys are, one guy gets sent home and the other (who started the fight) gets to Main Event and also get the pin in the match.
@Cultaholic Like when Costanza was trying to get fired by the Yankees? https://t.co/lU7LXSG6Zu
@Cultaholic Well if you didn't want to be there why even go there in the first place
@Cultaholic Alot star's are wanting out aew wrestling company cause joke like Tony khan is biggest joke in wrestling history
@MessCartoon @Cultaholic If you're on a fixed-term contract and the company try to make you honour it, but you want to go elsewhere, it definitely happens. Particularly in sports.
Currently, there is no concrete evidence whether Meltzer's speculation is true. It remains to be seen what AEW has planned for Andrade's future in the company.
Booker T recently shared his take on the dispute between the two AEW stars
The altercation between Andrade and Sammy Guevara has led to varied reactions from fans and wrestling veterans alike. WWE Hall of Famer Booker T has also shared his take on the controversial situation.
Discussing the backstage tussle on his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T suggested the stars keep their differences away from social media.
“What’s crazy about this is it’s being done on Twitter. That's the stupid part right there. If I ever had a problem with somebody, it would not be on Twitter. If I got a beef with you, I'm not going to get mad and type it. You know what I mean? That's not what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna run up on you. I'm gonna run up on you and if we got a problem, we're gonna settle it and it isn't gonna be on Twitter. Only thing that's gonna be on Twitter is who went to the hospital," said Booker T.

While the situation has seemingly calmed down, only time will tell what's next for The Spanish God and the former WWE Superstar.
