Guevara's continued absence from major television slots for AEW and ROH has raised questions among fans about his future with the promotions. His status has been a point of discussion since he began making only sporadic appearances elsewhere this past summer.
Guevara has maintained limited activity with CMLL, ROH, and AEW since June 2026. This limited schedule marks a departure from his former role as a consistent fixture on AEW television.
