Jeff Hardy and Sammy Guevara sparred in a No DQ match at the AEW Dynamite episode 135. During the fight, Hardy ended up receiving a knee on his nose, due to which his nose broke. While the Enigmatic Soul insisted that the match should go on, Guevara did something that went against the protocols of AEW.

According to reports by Sean Ross Sapp, Geuvara broke the concussion protocols that are followed at AEW. While the details are scarce, it is said Geuavar was not supposed to use his finisher after Hardy got injured to avoid further complications. Guevara decided to go against the protocol and thus got suspended.

While Guevara’s suspension might be news to Matt Hardy, this is not the first time that the 30-year-old star has faced suspension at AEW.

His first suspension came back in 2020 when a video from 2016 featuring the Spanish God resurfaced. In the clip, he was seen making some remarks on Mercedes Mone f.k.a Sasha Banks. After the clip went viral, he issued a public apology and even Mone stated that things are good between the two.
