It’s an interesting time for the world of professional wrestling as many familiar faces recently became free agents. Over the last few weeks it’s been rumored that Andrade El Idolo would be parting ways with All Elite Wrestling and Tony Khan confirmed that Andrade was on his way out during the Worlds End post-show press conference over the weekend.
Andrade was defeated by Miro at Worlds End, and today Andrade confirmed his AEW departure when he issued the following statement:
“I want to thank you for this time that I belonged to the company @aew and above all to Tony Khan. I also want to say goodbye to all the talent, security people, cameramen, referees and everyone who works in the company for being part of my time in AEW. kenny, young bucks, tazz, Shiavone, Aubrey, Jerry, Hobbs, hook, Kingston, Ricky, Orange, thunder, jack Perry, Austin, Colten, Sonjay and many more that I can name, also how to forget all the Mexicans (todo el relajo) I enjoyed sharing the ring with STING, PAC, Darby, Garcia, Jay and many more. I would have loved to face MOX, Page, Hobbs, Ricky, Dante, Cage, Dustin. Thank you AEW AND Thank you to all the fans for your support always. I wish you the best always!!!.”
