As previously reported, WWE released Andrade last month, and he made his AEW debut on the October 1st episode of Dynamite. Although Andrade has signed with AEW, he has not appeared on television since then. The latest update indicates that WWE is enforcing a one-year non-compete clause against him because he was terminated for cause.

According to Fightful Select, Andrade’s situation remains “very confusing.” He was set to challenge for the WWC Universal Title in Puerto Rico this weekend; however, while he is in Puerto Rico for the show, he will not be wrestling in his scheduled match. Instead, he is doing everything he can to honor the booking, which was arranged prior to his issues with WWE.

Reports have circulated regarding Andrade’s situation, including WWE sending AEW a cease-and-desist letter after AEW believed he did not have a non-compete clause. It’s been noted that Andrade’s non-compete clause has been extended to one year due to a provision in WWE contracts, which stipulates a one-year non-compete period for wrestlers who are terminated for cause or due to a breach of contract.

Tony Khan did not provide much clarity on Andrade’s status when asked about the situation recently. AEW reportedly had to alter their plans for last night’s WrestleDream event due to the ongoing issue with Andrade.
