Andrade El Idolo Claims His AEW Contract Is Expiring 'Very Soon'

Andrade El Idolo may not be 'All Elite' for much longer, according to the man himself.

Clarifying his AEW status during a recent interview with Lucha Libre Online, Andrade said:

"First of all, I still work for AEW. I want to clarify that, because I am still with AEW. My contract will expire very soon, but I still belong to AEW. I tore my chest, so I am still in recovery. I had an operation in November, about four months off, but am close to being back & to feel at 100%. I was in the Hall of Fame event, mostly to accompany my spouse [Charlotte Flair] and to celebrate the induction of my friend, Rey Mysterio. It's something awesome because I have great matches with him. I never tagged with him, but he is someone I admire and a symbol for all Latinos. Of course I saw Ric Flair & he thanked me for being with his daughter and to give her advice ahead of her match. Now that I see her, I would tell her about it".

The former WWE United States Champion signed what was believed to have been a three-year deal with Tony Khan's promotion in June of 2021.

Andrade last wrestled for AEW at All Out in September. He was scheduled to wrestle Preston Vance on the October 7, 2022 episode of Rampage, but the match was pulled and Andrade was sent home after having a backstage altercation with Sammy Guevara.
