I hope wherever he goes it's a place that recognises his talent and skills. Doesn't have to be AEW.

That is any wrestling promotion that isn't WWE, probably.

Andrade debuted on the main roster in 2018 so would have signed the standard contract extension then so he'll be free in spring/summer 2023 (I think he missed a few months from injury)

I’m surprised his relationship with Charlotte hasn’t protected him more to be honest. I would assume she’s got a lot of pull backstage but I guess nobody does these days.

I think the 90 days doesn't apply if the contract runs out.

In that case, they'll release him one day before his contract runs out so he still gets hit with the 90-day no-compete clause.

If they are still making the most money they don’t care if everyone else in the industry views their company as the bad guys.

I don't think anyone does because it's not real leverage. The people who have pull in WWE seem to just be the folks Vince likes or have ideas he likes. But they've worked hard to make the brand the product and not have to depend on performers for revenue. No one is a cash cow to WWE, there is no one who can walk away and impact the business poorly in their eyes.

Yeah, i think the only person who is able to have the upper hand in WWE negotiations is Lesnar becuase he genuinely doesn’t give a poo poo. Once or twice a year Vince sends a dump truck of money to his cabin in Saskatchewan and he shows up for a 2 min match and fucks off.

I think he can hear you, Ray.
I think someone on Reddit mentioned this, but couldn't he just make noise about a union, or not turn up for wellness tests? It's a half-baked idea but gently caress it, I'd try it.

That seems like a good out after what happened with Thea Trinidad, but I imagine there’s a fear that WWE will take it out on Charlotte in the same way they’ve taken Aleister Black off TV.

I imagine it’s more like “end of contract date or 90 days from release whichever comes first” because that would be extra insane otherwise, even for WWE/America’s crazy employment rules.

Rumour is his contracts coming up and well look at how he has been "used" sicne he got there while people who in a vacuum are far less skilled than him and far far less innately charismatic than him not only succeed in other promotions but in his own promotion get pushed over him.

Edit: First time I ever saw Keith Lee perform was on ROH; he did a flip over the top rope onto his opponent and smirked at the camera. I said to myself "That man's a SUPERSTAR."

Of course WWE would gently caress it up.
