Konnan explains why Tony Khan won’t fire major AEW star: “If the boss likes you, you’re bulletproof”

Wrestling veteran Konnan has offered his explanation as to why Tony Khan would not fire a top AEW star. The talent being discussed here is Sammy Guevara.

The Spanish God was suspended by the Jacksonville-based promotion earlier this month for his actions during his match against Jeff Hardy during an episode of AEW Rampage. Guevara has been the subject of numerous controversies throughout his time in the Jacksonville-based promotion, ranging from in-ring botches to backstage altercations with his peers.

Despite his past misconduct, Tony Khan has not let the 30-year-old star go from his promotion. While speaking on his Keepin' It 100 OFFICIAL podcast, Konnan shared his insight on why the AEW President has retained Guevara on the roster.

"If the boss likes you, you're bulletproof, until you really **** and he has no choice. And it's like I've always said and I will continue to say, and this is for everybody, present company included. When you like somebody they can do no wrong, and when you don't like somebody, they can do no right," Konnan said. [02:00 - 02:18]
