An injured AEW star, who has been sidelined for the last several weeks with a concussion, has been given the green light to make his in-ring return.
The concussion
Sammy Guevara suffered the injury while wrestling at the WrestleDream pay-per-view event, where he teamed with Will Ospreay and Konosuke Takeshita to defeat Chris Jericho, Kenny Omega, and Kota Ibushi.
Coming out of the show, Don Callis Guevara announced Guevara wasn’t medically cleared to wrestle, although it was reported that he had been hoping to be cleared in time. Outside of the ring, it’s been an exciting time for Guevara.
Tay Melo and Guevara welcomed their first child into the world together. Luna Melo Guevara is the name of the baby. She was born on Tuesday after Melo had a 24-hour labor.
Clearance
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted Guevara is cleared for in-ring action.
“Sammy will be back soon now. I don’t know when he was cleared exactly, but it was over a week ago, and he was going to be there [with her] until she gave birth, and then he would come back shortly after. I don’t know if it’s going to be right away….There was no point in coming back until after she gave birth, but yeah, he’s cleared,” Meltzer stated.
