T-Bar Brings Up Sasha Banks Comments In Twitter Beef With AEW Star, Deletes Tweets

Retribution's T-Bar has accused Sammy Guevara of stealing his finisher, and the Twitter exchange between the two got very personal.
We have reached a point in wrestling where very little of what you see on TV is an original idea. Whether it's a recycled angle seen through a new lens or a transitional move that was once a devastating finisher. When it comes to re-using moves made famous by someone else, there's an unwritten rule the new star asks the person who made the move famous for permission to use it, if possible.
A quite famous and recent example is Kevin Owens using Stone Cold's Stunner. The maneuver is now a part of KO's move set, and it's something he and Steve Austin have discussed. The Hall of Famer is more than okay using the Stunner, as long as he uses it right. Austin likely doesn't want what happened to Jake Roberts' DDT to happen to his own finisher.

A dispute over two current stars in opposing companies using the same move erupted on Twitter this week. Retribution's T-Bar tweeted, "Some little teenage virgin on AEW stole my finisher like four years ago after we did a show together." If it wasn't already apparent who T-Bar is referring to, Sammy Guevara cleared things up by revealing it to be him and replying to the tweet.
"Someone tell T-Bag the move actually belongs to Matt Demorest (the guy he stole it from)," Guevara replied. T-Bar clearly wasn't expecting a reply, or at least not one like this, and proceeded to make things very personal via his retort. After explaining how he claims to have come up with the move himself, T-Bar signed off a tweet with, "try being creative sometime, instead of, oh I don't know, making jokes about rape."
The incident T-Bar is referring to is when Guevara joked about raping Sasha Banks during an interview a few years ago. Guevara was suspended by AEW when the interview was unearthed last year and he also publicly and privately apologized to Banks. T-Bar has since deleted the tweets he posted aimed at Guevara, possibly after receiving a call from someone in WWE.
