AEW decides on Sammy Guevara's in-ring status - Reports

Sammy Guevara has been out of action since the WrestleDream 2023 pay-per-view on October 1, where he participated in a trios match between the Don Callis Family (Guevara, Will Ospreay, and Konosuke Takeshita) and the team of Chris Jericho, Kenny Omega, and Kota Ibushi.

While his team scored a victory, the 30-year-old sustained an injury during the match and was sidelined.

Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said the Spanish God had already been medically cleared to perform but was awaiting the birth of his child before returning to the ring.

"He was cleared - I don't know when he was cleared exactly, but it was over a week ago and it was basically, he wasn't gonna be there until she (Tay Melo) gave birth, and then he would come back shortly after. At that point when she was about to give birth, there was no point coming back until after she gave birth. But yeah, he's cleared," Meltzer said. (H/T WrestleTalk)
