Andrade says he didn’t feel “comfortable” at the end of his second run with WWE
While speaking to Chris Jericho, AEW star Andrade provided more insight about his second run with WWE. Andrade stated the following in regards to what led to his departure…
“So my divorce [from Charlotte Flair] happened, and it was all over the media. I was back in WWE to work with my ex-wife, and now my divorce happened. So I feel a little weird, like I’m not feeling calm or comfortable, you know? I don’t feel comfortable.
And the story they give me as Andrade here and there, they don’t give me specific, good story direction. So later, they wanted to send me to AAA. Like, ‘Hey, Andrade, hey, it’s a good opportunity for AAA.’
I moved here to work with WWE. I know AAA, I respct all the companies. I know WWE is worldwide and AAA is just in Mexico. People in Mexico know me, so why would I work in AAA to get more people to know me? I want people to know me around the world, like in Australia, Arabia, Europe, and many other countries. WWE has the ability to be seen on TV or Netflix or whatever, you know?
But going back to Mexico, for me, it’s like, well, I prefer working in AEW and enjoy it. I can ask Tony [Khan].
I made my name in Mexico. So why would I go back to Mexico just for that? When I’m working here in WWE with the top guys, I don’t want to go back. It’s little things like that. I just don’t feel good. We’re talking, and maybe I don’t feel comfortable here. And we’re talking, and they give me my release.”
