Andrade Says WWE Talks Underway To Shorten Non-Compete Blocking His Return

He attributes his hiatus to a 12-month clause he says WWE invoked after his AEW return.

Overview

  • In a DeporTV interview, Andrade said his lawyers are negotiating with WWE to reach an agreement that would let him wrestle sooner.
  • He estimated roughly three months of inactivity and said a return could come sooner, but no date is confirmed until WWE signs off.
  • He claims a 12-month non-compete was enforced after his AEW re-debut and says his previous attorney failed to flag the clause in his contract.
  • He indicated he prefers a negotiated solution over going to court, citing the time and expense of litigation.
