AEW Star Says “If I Wanted Them To Fire Me, I’d Quit”

An AEW star has said that he’d quit rather than wait to be fired from AEW amid rumours of their unhappiness in the company.

It was reported prior to AEW Dynamite in early October that an “altercation” had occurred backstage between Andrade El Idolo and Sammy Guevara, who’d been going back and forth on social media. Andrade was sent home as a result and was removed from his scheduled Rampage match. It was reported that Guevara did not fight back during the incident and Andrade has not been seen in AEW since.

All of that came about amid a backdrop of CM Punk and The Elite being suspended following their own alleged fight that took place after the All Out pay-per-view in September.

Reports had suggested that the Mexican star was trying to get himself fired as he supposedly eyed up a return to WWE under Triple H’s leadership. But that might not be the case after all.

Andrade El Idolo sarcastically thanked AEW for their absence of birthday wishes given that the company frequently sends out birthday wishes to its stars on social media. When a fan took issue with him, El Idolo replied – before deleting the message:

“Look man , I’m a man and if I wanted them to fire me, I’d quit and I’ve never done it.”
