AEW’s Sammy Guevara, Andrade El Idolo engage in social media war of words


In what is either an elaborate work toward a future storyline or another real-life backstage issue that has come to light, AEW’s Sammy Guevara and Andrade El Idolo took to Twitter Tuesday to engage in a social media war of words.
The issues appear to have started with a Spanish language interview Andrade did Monday where he mentioned that the only wrestler he has ever had a problem is Guevara. Andrade claimed that Guevara complained he hit him both too hard and too frequently in an unspecified match. Andrade said he told Guevara that it was just wrestling and if he hit Guevara too hard, he should do the same to him. He said he talked to Guevara without any physical altercation and asked if there was a problem to which Guevara said there wasn’t.
The two have shared a ring three times in AEW this year: a February singles match, a March three-way with Darby Allin, and a six-man tornado match at March’s Revolution. It’s unknown which specific match Guevara is alleged to have complained about.
On Monday night, Guevara tweeted the following which is assumed to be toward Andrade:
You are a jobber. A favor hire. Be grateful bitch.

On Tuesday morning, Andrade tweeted this toward Guevara in response:
I said it to your FACE if you had a problem with me and you said NOTHING, I wont beat your ass because im a professional, don’t be scared.
When I say something I name names, and im not scared to get fired!

Guevara then retorted, denying an altercation took place and taking shots at Andrade for supposedly wanting to return to WWE:
YOU didnt say shit to me you liar but heres some truth you ungrateful prick You would be jobless if it wasn’t for your dad in law. Are you really mad at me or mad at yourself for failing to get over for a SECOND time. Just go back to Wwe like we all know you want to do & fuck off https://t.co/licsudpp6o

Andrade then said he will see Guevara Wednesday and teased another confrontation:
Ok I’m a liar 😂 see you on Wednesday!!
I'll tell you to your face again!!! and nothing you say that you do not have any problem!

Further adding to this confusion as to the legitimacy of all this is Andrade’s on-screen companion (Jose The Assistant) confirming Andrade’s account of things:
I was there and can confirm this “incident” happened.@AndradeElIdolo gave an honest interview about his thoughts on #AEW , his upcoming #aewrampage match with his AEW career on the line and more.
Good thing (no one) in AEW can translate Spanish to English.

However, Andrade and Guevara are not currently in any storyline together, nor has there been the tease of one recently.
Andrade will put his AEW career on the line on Friday’s live Rampage against the mask of Dark Order’s 10 while Guevara will team with ROH Champion Chris Jericho against Bryan Danielson and ROH Pure Champion Daniel Garcia on Wednesday’s Dynamite.
