Kingston and Guevara were building toward a match at this Sunday's All Out pay-per-view after Kingston issued a challenge for the match at the beginning of August. That match is no longer part of AEW's plans for this weekend. Kingston is now set to face Tomohiro Ishii this Sunday at the Now Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois on the All Out Zero Hour pre-show. Whether Guevara will be featured on AEW's programming this week remains to be seen.
