Andrade Walks Out Of Wrestling Show Amid WWE Exit Controversy

Andrade El Idolo reportedly walked out of a wrestling show recently.

El Idolo was fired from WWE on September 13 after multiple wellness policy violations. While the 36-year-old has not exclusively spoken about the issue, he did thank the promotion via an online message.

On October 1, he surprisingly showed up on his former employer’s taping on AEW Dynamite, where he attacked Kenny Omega.

This led to the Stamford promotion sending a legal notice to both AEW and Andrade, claiming that he had violated his non-compete clause.

El Idolo was subsequently pulled from a WWC event in Puerto Rico on October 18. While he traveled to the location, he interacted with the fans but did not compete.

Dave Meltzer has now reported that the Mexican star walked out of The Crash’s 14th-anniversary show in Tijuana on Saturday.

Again, El Idolo attended the show, did the meet-and-greet with fans, and left soon afterward. The reason has been revealed as “unhappiness,” although it is unknown what he was unhappy about.

Speaking on a recent Wrestling Observer Radio episode, Meltzer said:

Andrade was on the show, probably the main attraction on the show. He was there signing autographs, and then he left. The only thing that we heard was that he was unhappy. [H/T: WrestlingNews.co]

He also confirmed that, amid contract disputes with WWE, he is eligible to compete in Tijuana and Mexico City, but not in the United States.

Could Andrade Return To WWE?

WWE’s non-compete clause prevents wrestlers from competing in other promotions for a year.

PWInsider’s Mike Johnson recently reported that the Stamford promotion might use it to negotiate a deal with El Idolo, facilitating his return.

Andrade’s last match in WWE was at SummerSlam, where he competed in a six-team TLC match for the tag team titles held by The Wyatt Sicks.
