The post comes after the former NXT Champion was suspended from AEW last November following a backstage altercation with Sammy Guevara. It was later reported that he was trying to get fired.
Another Twitter exchange fueled speculation that the star is eyeing an exit from the company. When one fan tweeted Andrade’s brother-in-law Conrad Thompson and asked why the former La Sombra doesn’t follow him, Conrad replied that Andrade doesn’t listen to podcasts or need a mortgage. However, Andrade himself joined the conversation, saying that he would join the podcast world someday and promised to “talk about everything,” hinting that he isn’t satisfied with everything at the moment.
“someday I will be with you in the podcasts and I will talk about everything….Sueña Interesante!”

Andrade El Idolo Was Injured During A Six Man Suplex On AEW Dynamite
Andrade was last in action at All Out, where he competed as part of the Casino Ladder Match that was won by MJF. However, the star was working through injury when he took part in that match as he injured his shoulder during a six man tag team match on AEW Dynamite back in August.
After being suspended from the company, Andrade had his shoulder injury examined by a doctor, and underwent surgery to repair the damage. Taking to social media back in December, he showed fans exactly where his shoulder injury occurred. The match in question took place back on August 17th on the House of Dragon episode of AEW Dynamite during a trios bout that saw Andrade team with RUSH and Dragon Lee to take on The Elite in an AEW Trios World Championship qualifier match.
In the clip he shared, Andrade can be seen grabbing his shoulder in pain after taking a six man suplex. However, despite the injury taking place at the beginning of the match, he insisted on finishing, and also went on to compete in the Casino Ladder Match at AEW All Out.
“THIS IS THE MATCH WHERE MY INJURY HAPPENED I LEAVE YOU PART OF THE MATCH. You can’t imagine in what movement we can get injured, it happened to me in the 6-man Suplex almost starting the match but I wanted to finish as a professional.”
The Elite went on to win the bout and were crowned the first AEW Trios World Champions at All Out.
