Pro wrestling is a risky business. One wrong move or bad timing can lead to some serious injuries that are beyond the usual kayfabe. While most of the time, stars do suffer a major injury, most of the time they brush off past by death. One such incident happened with wrestling icon, Sting. While the star finished off the match after the near-death experience, 3-time AEW TNT Champion, Sammy Guevara still can’t shake off the moment from his head.

The event unfolded at the 2023 AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door. While Guevara is still confused as to how things unfolded he is glad that Sting was safe.

How did Sammy Guevara almost kill Sting?

While talking with Chris Van Vliet on his podcast, they happened to ponder upon his jaw-dropping 630 move on Sting at the 2023 Forbidden Doors PPV. During the conversation, Guevara stated that there is a funny story behind it. According to him, Sting was supposed to move from the spot where he was about to land. “For whatever reason, either the 630 is too fast or the timing, I landed on him.” He then stated that he was shocked when he felt Sting was right under him and was horrified. However, Sting being himself got back up to finish the match.

The former 3-time TNT Champion added, “And I remember going through the table, and I feel his body on my back. And I’m thinking, Oh, I just killed Sting. Oh, no, and like I land, kind of roll off that look at him.”

“A minute later he popped back and finished the match coz he is such a pro.” While the 30-year-old was still in shock, he was glad that the veteran was safe from any harm. “He took the whole blame he was like ‘Oh I’m sorry I didn’t move’ and I said ‘Dude I am just happy that you are okay.”

The PPV was said to be the biggest moment of Guevara’s career. Fans saw Chris Jericho and Minori Suzuki team up with Guevara. The trio faced off against Sting, Darby Allin, and Titsuya Naito in a six-man tag team match. Considering the gravity of the situation, he was bound to be scared for Sting’s life.

While the crisis was averted, Guevara’s concern is something that fans could relate to. After all, fans could still not shake off the incident from 2015.

Sting’s biggest injury

Back in 2015, one of the main storylines of WWE was the rivalry between Sting and Seth Rollins. While Sting was a veteran in the business, Rollins was still establishing himself as a main-event star. The two dueled it out at the 2015 Night of the Champions. As Rollins performed a  bucklebomb on The Vigilante, the star was seen tumbling across the ring.

While most thought of it as something related to the storyline was an actual injury. Fans were later updated on the beloved star’s condition. He even revealed that at that moment, he could feel his whole body was paralyzed. While he did recover and is now healthy, the moment served as a grim reminder of how risky the pro wrestling business is.
