Rumour Killer On Andrade Walking Out On Crash Lucha Libre Show

A report emerged a couple of weeks ago that Andrade had attended a Crash Lucha Libre show but ultimately walked out of the event, sparking even more controversy for the man who was recently fired from WWE. After taking part in meet-and-greets and photographs, there were reports that Andrade was unhappy and walked out, leaving the show. However, more has now emerged on the situation to put doubt onto these rumours. 

Someone else who was present at the Mexican event at the time was Karl Anderson, who has spoken on Talk N Shop to give his version of events, disputing the walkout reports. 

“There were reports that Andrade, the Crash Lucha Libre Champion, was there and left in a heap, was angry, got in trouble, and left. I am here to say that I was there with Andrade, side by side with him, doing the signing. Andrade was right beside me and the Big LG. (Andrade is a) friend of mine. Known him for a long time. There were reports that he left and was angry. Not true. Signing was finished. He went backstage, we went backstage. He watched us win the Crash Lucha Libre Tag Team Championships. He watched the whole show. We left before Andrade left. As soon as our match was finished, which was the semi-main event. Andrade did not leave in a heap or leave angry or in trouble or mad. He was there the whole show. He was backstage laughing with people, talking with people, and even hugged us after we won the Tag Team Championships. Andrade story was bullsh*t. If anyone wants to dispute me on that, I was there. Boots on the ground, I watched it. Andrade’s face was smiling and happy. He was fine. No heat, no issues.”

Andrade was recently fired from WWE after alleged violations of WWE’s wellness policy, before then showing up in AEW. It then became evident that Andrade was unable to continue appearing in AEW due to his WWE non-compete clause, which reportedly lasts for one year.
