Sammy Guevara‘s name has been trending on Twitter all day today but not for a good reason. This was due to his previous comments made about WWE Star Sasha Banks.
Back in 2016, in an interview on The Whole F’N Show podcast. Guevara was talking about how Becky Lynch and Banks had lost to Charlotte Flair. He then recalled working as an extra for WWE at a TV taping in Texas. He stated about seeing Sasha Banks.
“I wanted to just go f–king rape that woman.”
Re-uploading this so as not to give the guy that focused on his fucking tryout instead of the fact that Sammy Guevara says he wanted to r*pe Sasha Banks any fucking clout or credit when he stayed quiet on this for 4 and a half years.

Guevara later issued a statement on his official Twitter account.
“I’ve made stupid, inappropriate and extremely offensive comments in my past. In my idiotic mind, I thought I was being funny in using words and terms that represent nothing but horror and pain. I am truly sorry for my hurtful words and actions, and I will never forgive myself.”

All Elite Wrestling or President Tony Khan has yet to make a statement about Guevara. This backlash comes on the heals for the resent #speakingout movement on Twitter that hit the wrestling world over the weekend.
