Sir, you say it with such certainty, that I signed a contract, when that's just another one of your lies. Do some more research, Sir. I was in negotiations to sign because Mr. Tony Khan and the AEW team were having good discussions, and we came to an excellent agreement. I'm especially grateful to TK and AEW in general. Then, I received a non-compete clause after my AEW debut and my first match in Tijuana (The Crash), but I want to clarify that I didn't know if that was the issue with WWE (honestly, I don't know the answer to that). Lo mejor para usted!!! 👍🏼"Andrade on the reason for his WWE departure before AEW returnAndrade El Idolo made his WWE return at Royal Rumble 2024.
