The last few weeks have certainly been interesting for Andrade as it was reported that he had been fired from WWE back in September, and he went on to make his AEW return on the October 1st episode of Dynamite.
Andrade attacked Kenny Omega from behind and then he joined the Don Callis Family, but Andrade essentially disappeared from AEW TV after that and hasn’t appeared since.
During a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Andrade’s status was discussed and it was noted that WWE sent a letter to All Elite Wrestling regarding Andrade’s non-compete clause.
“I was told that Andrade is not hurt. He didn’t get himself fired. Apparently something is up involving his WWE non-compete. When he was fired, remember we were told WWE didn’t care,” Bryan Alvarez said.
“That is what I’ve been hearing was WWE sent a letter and AEW obviously didn’t know. AEW obviously believed that there was no non-compete,” Dave Meltzer added.
Following Andrade’s WWE departure it was reported that the former WWE United States Champion didn’t have a 90 day non-compete clause, but it seems that may not be the case considering his current situation.
Stay tuned for updates.
