As noted before, Sammy Guevara has been out of action for AEW since their WrestleDream event earlier this month due to a concussion injury.
Dave Meltzer reported in a recent episode of the Wrestling Observer Radio that his sources stated Guevara had suffered a setback in his recovery but overall he has been doing well with his recovery.
Meltzer reported that Guevara is currently hopeful of being medically cleared by this Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite show due to the show taking place near his hometown of Houston but it is currently not known if this will happen.
Meltzer stated:
“I know he wants to be ready Wednesday. I don’t know if it will happen. He had a setback but overall he was doing well recovering from the concussion at the last pay-per-view.
He should be back relatively soon, at least that’s the hope. Because the Wednesday show, this coming Wednesday, is right outside of Houston and that’s where he’s from. So, he really wanted to be on the show but I don’t know that he’s going to be on the show.
He’s gunning for it but I don’t know what the odds are that it’s going to happen.”
