Plans changes for many wrestlers coming out of AEW All Out.
Due to the altercation between CM Punk, Ace Steel, and The Elite (Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks) at AEW All Out and Punk suffering an injury in his AEW World Title victory over Jon Moxley, the AEW World Title was vacated on AEW Dynamite.
A Tournament of Champions was set up featuring Chris Jericho, Jon Moxley, Bryan Danielson, Hangman Page, Sammy Guevara, and Darby Allin.
Guevara picked up a victory over Allin the first round on AEW Rampage, setting him up for a showdown with Moxley.
On his latest vlog, an unaired promo from Guevara was shown.
"I just beat Darby Allin, one of the pillars, two of us. Who is the real pillar? Everybody talks about Max [MJF], everybody talks about Jungle Boy, Darby. Who is the real fucking pillar of this place? I've been here since day one and I've seen so many guys come and go. So many guys come and go. Guys on the trucks, I'm not on the truck. How many figures do I have? I've got one. Moxley, how many do you have? How many posters are you on? I've been here since day one and I don't get the respect I deserve. Not from anybody back there in the back, not anybody in the locker room, nowhere. Not from the fans, these ungrateful fans. I brought happiness and y'all turned on me. Screw it. I don't need y'all, I never needed y'all. I only needed myself. This Wednesday, Tournament of Champions, when I beat Moxley and I win this whole Tournament of Champions, everything is going to change for me. I'm going to get what I always should have got, the recognition. I should've got everything I deserve. I'm not here because I got fired from somewhere else, I'm here because I want to be. I'm not asking for my release, I want to be here. I didn't have to go to work here today, I had the week off, but here I am putting out five-star matches that I don't even get the recognition for. After I win this World Title, everything is going to change," stated Guevara.
Guevara wasn't the only person who wasn't originally scheduled to be part of last Wednesday's AEW Dynamite. Jon Moxley said in his promo that he was scheduled for time off, but showed up after things were reshuffled.
Fightful will have live coverage of AEW Dynamite beginning at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
