flag WWE’s one-year non-compete clause is preventing Andrade from working for AEW, despite his return and ongoing status with the company.

flag AEW President Tony Khan expressed continued admiration for Andrade El Idolo during a media call, praising his talent and past contributions, but avoided confirming reports that WWE is enforcing a one-year non-compete clause following Andrade’s release for wellness policy violations. flag Andrade returned to AEW on October 1, attacking Kenny Omega and joining the Don Callis Family, but has not appeared since, with sources indicating WWE’s enforcement of the clause—now standard in new TKO contracts—prevents him from working for other promotions. flag Though Andrade is reportedly not receiving pay during the restriction, which could end in December, AEW has paused his storyline to avoid violations. flag Khan emphasized no ill will toward Andrade, who remains signed to AEW and in good spirits, with plans to reintegrate him once the clause expires.
