Ultimo Guerrero explains what happened with his mask on AEW Collision.
Ultimo Guerrero was in action against Kazuchika Okada on the June 22 episode of AEW Collision, and fans may have noticed that Guerrero was constantly checking the mask before the finish, where Okada pulled the mask off and then, after Guerrero put it back on, it popped off when Okada it the Rainmaker for the finish.
Guerrero lost his mask at CMLL’s Aniversario card in September 2014, but was advertised with the mask on.
In a message on Facebook, Guerrero said he arrived without the mask as he thought he would be wrestling unmasked. A staff member made him a mask that he wore. He praised the staff member for putting together the mask on short notice.
a story to tell I came to the dressing room of the recording location for AEW at the collision function unforeseen for me from one day to the next where I had to fight with mask and it turns out I have no masks arriving at the location they realized there is no mask immediately a company worker was ordered to make an unusual mask he made it as he could reflecting the loyalty he has to his work within an hour or so checking and worrying why I looked good. everyone criticizing why he pulls out that mask and I'm thinking about the sacrifice of this person my respect because it's the work of a great working man of AEW represents my sacrifice and that's why I put it on and went up with it. sometimes many people do something for us and we do not take them into account with pride I will keep this mask
According to people in attendance, the mask fell off multiple times during the match, but AEW was able to edit around those moments because it was a taped match.
