At AAA Noche De Campeones on December 28, Konnan stripped Tay Melo & Sammy Guevara of the AAA Mixed Tag Team Championships after the duo didn't ꦉshow up for their advertised title defense against Lady Shani & Octagon Jr and Komander & Sexy Star II.
Melo wrestled on the December 28 episode of AEW Dynamite, teaming with Anna JayAS to defeat Ruby Soho &aไmp; Willow Nightingale.
Speaking on hiﷺs podcast, Konnan explained what happened with Sammy & Tay not sho𝔍wing.
"Tony (Khan) pulled Tay because some girl, I don't know who, had COVID. I'm not sure why Sammy was pulled because he didn't even appear on the fucking show [AEW]," he stated.
Lat🦹er in the show, Konnan recounted the other times Tay & Sammy missed AAA sho𓃲ws.
"The first time, they missed their flight. The second, this girl is Brazilian, Tay Melo. When I was handling Rey's [Rey Mysterio] business in WWE, they wanted him to go to Brazil. To get a visa is not easy. She needed to get a visa, and this is a problem we've had with Fenix and Daga, all these people, they wait until the last minute to get a visa. Tay sent me her visa papers, 'I tried to get my visa, I couldn't get it on time, we'll be at the next show for sure.' They sent me a video, everything was cool. The next thing I know, Tony pulled her because somebody had COVID. What I don't understand is why did they send Sammy? Sammy didn't do shit on the show," he said.
AAA announcer Larry Dallas backed Konnan's cl🀅aims in regard to Tay not making the show.
"Tony Khan has about 100 people on his roster, one person got sick, and he decided to screw another company, I guess, and put Tay in a meaningless match that means nothing for her. That's the way I view it. Apparently, someone got COVID or someone got sick, so he had to use Tay. They were supposed to lose the titles a couple of weeks ago, I believe," said Dallas.
Flammer & Abismo Negro Jr, who replaced Sammy & Tay in the bout, ended up winning the vacant AAA Mixed Tag Team Titles by defeating ♏Lady Shani & Octagon Jr and Komander & Sexy Star II.
