Sammy Guevara praises AEW President Tony Khan for taking the heat after CM Punk's release

Sammy Guevara recently spoke about how Tony Khan went in front of thousands of people in Chicago and took the heat following CM Punk's release.

While talking to TV Insider, the 30-year-old applauded Tony Khan and the Executive Vice Presidents of the promotion, including Cody Rhodes, for founding AEW.

"Tony, I feel, doesn’t get enough credit he deserves. He, The Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, Cody Rhodes. They all changed everyone’s life and wrestling. Without them, especially Tony, there would be no AEW. There would be a bunch of people doing something completely different. I don’t know anything regarding the behind-the-scenes decisions he makes, but he is such a caring guy," said Guevara.

The latter also reflected on Tony's bravery in showing up in front of a heated crowd and taking all the boos.

"What I will say is that he has a lot of b*lls. I have a lot of respect for him. He went out in front of the Chicago crowd to address them personally after he made the decision to let Punk go. He didn’t have to go in front of everyone. He could have just played the video. But he went out in front of thousands of people. He is getting booed. He understood how they felt. He is an upfront guy."

At this moment, the 30-year-old star hasn't given any exact date for his return.
