Andrade El Idoloâ€s AEW return earlier this month was supposed to kick off a major storyline with the Don Callis Family, but instead itâ€s been nothing but legal drama and confusion.
First, reports claimed WWE enforced a surprise non-compete clause, then word spread that Andrade might be locked into a contract issue keeping him out for up to a year. Now, his latest move has only deepened the mystery.
According to Fightful Select, Andrade was scheduled to wrestle for WWC in Puerto Rico, including a Universal Title match. But despite being at the show, he wonâ€t actually compete.
“One of the bookings that Andrade scheduled before his legal situation with WWE started was WWC in Puerto Rico. Fightful Select can confirm that Andrade is in fact in Puerto Rico at the show, but isnâ€t working the scheduled match for the WWC Universal Title. Weâ€re told that he was doing whatever else he could to make good for the booking.â€
This comes amid reports that Andrade is somehow still under WWE contract following his termination, a situation being called “very confusing.†That technicality could explain why he wasnâ€t able to step into the ring in Puerto Rico, even though he still showed up for the event.
AEW has kept quiet publicly on the matter, but whatâ€s clear is that Andradeâ€s big return has been stalled again. With WWE clauses in play, AEWâ€s legal oversight being questioned, and Andrade stuck in limbo, fans are left wondering if heâ€ll even be able to wrestle for AEW in the near future.
Do you think Andrade should fight WWE in court to clear his status, or should he wait it out and return when the legal mess is over? Share your thoughts in the comments.
