On December 18, 2025, tensions erupted publicly following the Revolver Holiday event in Dayton, Ohio, sparked by a social media interaction between Sami Callihan and Joe Alonzo.

Sami Callihan responded to this stunt, emphasizing that this was clearly unscripted, opting for a tirade over a simple acknowledgment.
“Once again, we almost lost another venue last night because of this stunt. You’re not tough, cool, edgy…you’re just an immature kid. And wondering why it hasn’t been signed anywhere yet? Keep building bridges to increase internet views. Things are going very well for you.”
The back-and-forth between Sami Callihan and Joe Alonzo left a sour taste, raising questions about Alonzo’s future bookings, especially as he currently appears more intimidating.
