I've tried so hard to be interested in Andrade because he carries himself like he's someone but it's tough because he's the walking definition of mid.

The highlight of his AEW run was calling Darby Allin a “leedle keed”

He's going to kill it in NWA

Multiple sources indicate to The Takedown on SI that Andrade had at least one wellness policy violation during his most recent WWE run. It is not known how exactly he was in violation of the policy, or whether or not he in fact tested positive for a banned substance (WWE can suspend talent for failing to produce a test). It is also not clear if it directly led to his release, but it was noted that he was suspended without pay as of a result of it.

Initial reports noted that had had not been backstage at SmackDown as of late, and was not listed on internal rosters. The Takedown on SI can add that he was told to leave a taping last month, and was escorted out of the building. A high-level source asserted this dismissal from the building was in relation to his most recent suspension, and that it affected major creative plans for his tag team with Rey Fenix.

Bodyslam's Cory Hays reported on Saturday night that WWE had tried to get in touch with Andrade for several weeks, but had been unsuccessful. The Takedown on SI cannot confirm this at this time, though the incident at SmackDown was said to have occurred in the middle of August.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he wanted to get fired/leave.

Getting hyped for Jericho in 2025 is

At least he’ll fit in with WWE’s slow, boring style.

I'm sure @OneDeep and @Brad Piff will stan their little hearts out when Jericho returns and call it a monumental loss for AEW.

Please tag me when he debuts at the Royal Rumble and everyone hypes it as a huge loss for AEW when Jericho hasn't been relevant to AEW's main event scene in years.
