Andrade’s professional wrestling career has taken a significant turn as he officially parted ways with WWE on December 12, 2025. After enduring a one-year non-compete clause that restricted him from signing with other promotions, Andrade is now free to negotiate and compete wherever he chooses. This development comes after assistance from fellow wrestler Rush, who connected Andrade with an attorney to resolve the contractual issues.
The news has generated excitement, particularly for Tony Khan, the president of All Elite Wrestling (AEW), who is now in a position to secure Andrade’s services. With Andrade’s previous contract complications resolved, he is expected to sign with AEW shortly, further enhancing the promotion’s roster.
Andrade’s wrestling career with WWE concluded in dramatic fashion at SummerSlam 2025, where he participated in a chaotic ‘Six Pack’ TLC match. Teaming with Rey Fenix, Andrade faced off against notable teams such as DIY, Fraxiom, The Street Profits, and the Motor City Machine Guns, with the match culminating in a victory for The Wyatt Sicks. Despite the excitement of this finale, Andrade left WWE feeling dissatisfied with how his exit was managed, leaving a sour taste in his mouth.
The resolution of Andrade’s non-compete clause means he can now explore opportunities in various promotions. Recently, he has made appearances for New Japan and House Of Glory, demonstrating his readiness to return to the ring.
While Andrade’s departure from WWE also resulted in the expiration of his visa, it is anticipated that this issue will be addressed swiftly. AEW appears to be leading the charge to finalize a new contract with him. The wrestler has already made a notable appearance on the October 1, 2025 episode of AEW’s flagship show, Dynamite, where he made a dramatic entrance by attacking Kenny Omega as part of the Don Callis Family.
Despite his past struggles with AEW from 2021 to 2023, where Andrade expressed dissatisfaction with his booking, there is optimism surrounding his potential return. He previously made headlines by entering the 2024 Royal Rumble but faced similar challenges under the leadership of Triple H.
As Andrade prepares for this next chapter, the wrestling community is eager to see if he can find a more fulfilling role in AEW. The hope is that his upcoming tenure will be more rewarding than his previous experiences, allowing him to showcase his talents effectively. Only time will reveal how this new opportunity unfolds, but Andrade’s future in professional wrestling looks promising as he stands on the brink of signing with AEW once again.
