As noted before, Andrade El Idolo has been away from AEW since this past October following a backstage incident with Sammy Guevara and had underwent surgery this past November for a torn pectoral muscle.
Lucha Libre Online held a recent interview with Andrade. One of the topics discussed included Andrade revealing that his contract with AEW is currently set to expire soon.
“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 4 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.”
