During AEW’s All Out 2024 event at the NOW Arena, a fan’s social media post sparked speculation about a possible backstage altercation after they witnessed security rushing backstage. This quickly led to rumors circulating online that a confrontation may have occurred during the pay-per-view.
im at the show and somthing for sure just happend backstage alll the security just sprinted back stage full speed during the last match and havent came back
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful addressed these rumors, responding to the fan’s now-deleted tweet by confirming that he had heard reports of security being called to the backstage area. However, Fightful Select later clarified that no actual incident had been reported, and by the end of the night, security had returned to their positions at ringside without any further disruptions.
In a tweet of her own, Tay Melo made clear that her husband Sammy Guevara had not been a part of any incident at the NOW Arena. Guevara was attacked backstage by Andrade El Idolo in 2022 though Andrade was not fired for his actions.
AEW fans will be relieved to learn that rumors of a backstage altercation have been greatly exaggerated. It was at All Out 2022 that a backstage fight resulted in CM Punk, the Elite, and others being suspended. Punk would get into a second altercation less than a year later, resulting in his termination from AEW.
Despite the brief speculation surrounding the backstage activity, All Out 2024 was another memorable night for AEW. The event featured a thrilling main event between Swerve Strickland and ‘Hangman’ Adam Page, capping off a night full of exciting action.
