Conspicuous by his absence on AEW Dynamite this week was Sammy Guevara. However, it turns out that the Spanish God is currently dealing with an injury.
Guevara was the only member of the Inner Circle who didn’t appear on this weeks episode, and he also didn’t compete in a planned match with Jon Moxley on the Jericho Cruise. Instead, he simply took a DDT from the #1 contender.
The reason for that is because Guevara is actually suffering from an ankle injury right now which he revealed to Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Radio. However, the way he injured himself is certainly an interesting one.
“I was taking off my wrestling shoe this past Wednesday. It was very, very tight and couldn’t get [the laces]out of the knot so I forced it off. Something in my ankle pulled a bit. A couple days later I feel it a little bit more. Then the next day a little more. Then on the day of the cruise I couldn’t walk on it! It had swollen and I’m limping around!”
