Andrade El Idolo may have had his final AEW match at Worlds End.
It has been previously reported by PWInsider and Fightful Select that the AEW star’s contract is nearing its end and that he has no intention of sticking around in All Elite Wrestling once he is a free agent, with Fightful noting that a “major disagreement” factoring into the exit.
Following El Idolo losing to Miro at Worlds End, Tony Khan has all but confirmed that El Idolo has competed for the last time in AEW.
Speaking at the post-show media scrum, Khan confirmed that El Idolo’s contract is up at the end of 2023 and he doesn’t see a renewal taking place:
Somebody who has not been with us the entire five years, but they’ve been with us about half the time, and they’ve been outstanding and somebody I really respect, and I don’t expect to see necessarily, as it stands right now, renewing the contract, but somebody that I have a great amount of respect for and would be parting on good terms and was tremendous and was here and did wrestle tonight was Andrade El Idolo. Andrade El Idolo’s contract is up at the end of the year, we’ve had great talks. I have a ton of respect for Andrade El Idolo, he’s been a huge performer in the Continental Classic. I wanted to keep him involved at the top, and if had been able to reach an agreement, certainly he would be somebody we would slot in in a prominent position. I think we did everything we could to show Andrade El Idolo that we do value him, and this last run he’s had in recent months has been tremendous. If this is the way he’s going to leave AEW, talk about leaving on a high note,”
Will Andrade El Idolo Return To WWE?
It should be noted that as this is a contract expiration and not a release then El Idolo could turn up for any promotion as soon as possible. In regards to WWE, this would be the Day 1 edition of Raw on January 1st. Many feel that this will be the future home of El Idolo due to his previous association with the promotion and him being married to WWE Superstar Charlotte Flair.
