After his shock WWE firing, Andrade returned to AEW television, ambushing Kenny Omega on Dynamite and aligning with the Don Callis Family. However, the storyline promptly stalled amid revelations of a possible year-long non-compete clause, which seemed to invalidate his re-signing with AEW. And now, during a new interview with DeporTV, the luchador has claimed that this was unexpected as he initially didn’t have a clause, but WWE added one after seeing he’d re-joined AEW.
36-year-old Andrade wrestled in AEW from 2021 to 2023, flirting with main-event status until injuries and a backstage altercation with Sammy Guevara derailed his momentum. Still, despite these setbacks, it is understood that he and Tony Khan parted on good terms, as evidenced by his quick re-signing. Therefore, he is expected to return to AEW television as soon as his non-compete agreement officially expires or a compromise is reached.
