    “AEW insists on doing our part to create a world of understanding and respect for humankind. We therefore strongly condemn the extremely offensive and hurtful words of Sammy Guevara. As such, effective immediately, Sammy is suspended without pay until further notice. Sammy has agreed to undergo extensive sensitivity training and, upon completion, his future status within the company will be re-evaluated.

    During his suspension, his salary will be donated to the Women’s Center of Jacksonville.”

    Guevara released a pair of tweets earlier today apologizing for his actions. The first was a broader apology while the second was directed at Sasha Banks herself.

    Sasha Banks has also released a statement on the situation. In her tweet, she mentioned that everyone needs to do better to make their community a safer place for everyone. This story comes amidst the #SpeakingOut movement, a campaign meant to shine a light on sexual abuse and harassment in professional wrestling.
