MIKE TYSON was supposed to knock out Sammy Guevara – but wrestling bosses changed their mind at the last minute.
The 53-year-old started a mass brawl when he made an appearance to confront Chris Jericho on AEW Dynamite last month.

Speaking on his Talk Is Jericho podcast, Jericho revealed the WWE had huge storyline plans for the legendary boxer.
He was supposed to knock out Guevara when Inner Circle came face-to-face with Tyson’s group during the show.
The boxing legend rocked up with a crew of MMA fighters including Rashad Evans, Vitor Belfort and Henry Cejudo.
But a last minute change of plan left Guevara breathing a sigh of relief.
Instead, Tyson took aim at Jericho who was demanding an apology from the former heavyweight champion.
Jericho has not forgiven the 53-year-old for knocking him out when they crossed paths on Monday Night Raw in 2010.
The WWE legend said: “Apologise to me right now. Yeah, you look great [in reference to his new physique].
“But apologise to me before I knock your damn teeth down your throat.”
Instead of apologising, Tyson ripped off his shirt and kicked off a huge brawl as he shoved Jericho.
Jericho has now called out the American hardman for a wrestling match as he prepares for his comeback.
Tyson has been knuckling down in the gym after announcing he will make his return to the ring – 15 years after his retirement.

He has forayed into the WWE world on several occasions and is a member of the company’s Hall of Fame.
But a fight against old rival Evander Holyfield looks more likely as talks are underway over a rematch in November.
Tyson Fury’s father John and Shannon Briggs are among the long list of fighters that want to face the champ.
