“So Tony Khan didn’t check if he had a non-compete” – Fans go wild after Andrade allegedly broke a major WWE rule

Online fans erupted after recent reports surfaced that Andrade was apparently in violation of his contract with WWE.

Andrade’s name has been making the rounds recently following the latest reports that the Mexican star violated a key WWE clause. El Idolo left the Stamford-based promotion and joined AEW, making a shocking return on Dynamite’s Sixth Anniversary earlier this month to attack Kenny Omega. However, the former NXT Champion has not been seen on AEW shows since. Recently, the reason for his absence was apparently revealed: he allegedly violated World Wrestling Entertainment’s 90-day non-compete clause, leading the promotion to issue a cease and desist order against the Mexican star. Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez announced the news while speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio.

Following the news, fans went wild over X, with many questioning the report itself, saying it was impossible for AEW and Tony Khan to overlook such an important detail.

Check out fan reactions to X below:

@DrainBamager Something about this is odd due to his current booking at the moment, and he just won the crash lucha libre heavyweight title.

@DrainBamager So Tony Khan didn’t check if he had a non-compete, stop listening to Dave Meltzer TK.

@DrainBamager This is so crazy because it was reported that Andrade wasn’t even subject to a non-compete clause because the company didn’t even want to pay him. This was reported upon his return to AEW.

Other fans also blamed the sports entertainment giant for the situation, calling the promotion petty and urging them to drop it.

@DrainBamager So Petty WWE, they should just worry about their own business

@DrainBamager It’s weird and very short time for WWE to do this

@DrainBamager WWE didn’t care until Andrade decided to re-sign with AEW and appear because they thought they weren’t going to re-sign him. There is no company less rancorous and less bitter than this.

Don Callis explains why he added former WWE star Andrade to his group

Andrade’s return to AEW following WWE’s release wasn’t out of the realm of possibility. However, what caught the attention of the wrestling world was his quick alignment with one of the promotion’s main factions, the Don Callis family. Recently, the group’s leader, Don Callis, spoke to X himself to explain his decision to bring in El Idolo, saying that their mutual dislike of Kenny Omega was the main reason.

“ANDRADE ADAPTS THE DON CALLIS FAMILY INTO A T-SHIRT!! GREAT ATHLETE, TOP GENETICS INTERNATIONAL SUPERSTUD WRESTLER WHO HATES THE DUMB F**K KENNY OMEGA. TYSON SMITH NEEDS TO BE PUT TO THE GROUND”

ANDRADE FITS DON CALLIS FAMILY IN A T-SHIRT!! GREAT ATHLETE, INTERNATIONAL SUPERSTUD WRESTLER OF TOP GENETICS WHO HATES THE DUMB KENNY OMEGA KISS. TYSON SMITH NEEDS TO BE PUT ON THE GROUND

Given the current situation with Andrade seemingly embroiled in a legal battle with World Wrestling Entertainment, it will be interesting to see when he can return to AEW programming.
