Major update on Eddie Kingston's real-life heat with popular AEW star following suspension
There has been an update on the real-life issues between AEW stars Eddie Kingston and Sammy Guevara, their backstage altercation, and Kingston's thoughts on the matter.
Fightful Select reported that Kingston was mad because Sammy Guevara hadn't spoken with him over the content of a promo that found itself cut from the show. The two were said not to have communicated since their Blood & Guts match, which saw the Mad King throw the Spanish God off of the cage.
It has been reported that Kingston asked for the opportunity to work with Guevara. More to the point, it was alleged that Guevara was short of options and explicitly looking to work with him following his maligned feud with the Men of the Year.
There were said to be clear limits set on Guevara's feuds surrounding having his ex-fiancee prohibited from being mentioned; no mention was pitched anyway. The reported plan outlined a win for Eddie Kingston in their eventual clash at AEW All Out.
The cut promo was said to have seen Guevara earmark Kingston as a 'fat piece of sh*t' and the Mad King was said to have felt this undermined their match's believability.

However, it was reportedly said that the main frustration was geared towards Guevara delivering this after what had been seen as difficulty working with the Men of the Year and Sonjay Dutt.
Their confrontation is said to have seen Kingston yelling at Guevara, who then smiled at his ulterior. Mad King retaliated against pie-faced Sammy, which led to the latter complaining and Kingston being forced to serve a two-week suspension.
