Kenny Omega expressed optimism regarding Andrade’s contract situation, stating that he believes it will ultimately resolve positively. In an interview with SHAK Wrestling, Omega reflected on Andrade’s recent challenges, emphasizing his commitment to the wrestling promotion.
Omega noted that Andrade, who made a surprise return to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) on October 1, 2023, is currently sidelined. He stated, “To see him back in AEW was a happy moment for me because I felt he really wanted to be there and do well.” Omega’s comments highlight the significance of Andrade’s presence in the AEW roster and the connection he has with fans and fellow wrestlers alike.
Despite Andrade’s recent absence from the ring, Omega believes that the former WWE star will return with the same motivation. He remarked, “Now that he’s been sidelined for a little bit, I can imagine that when he comes back, he’ll still have that same amount of motivation; I think everything will be alright.” This sentiment underscores the resilience often required in professional wrestling, where injuries and contractual obligations can lead to unexpected interruptions.
The former WWE star’s return to AEW was marked by a dramatic appearance, where he attacked Omega and aligned himself with the Don Callis Family. However, Andrade’s time in the spotlight was cut short due to a one-year no compete clause enforced by WWE after he was released from the company for cause. This situation has left fans wondering when they might see Andrade back in action.
In a recent interview with sports journalist Ariel Helwani, AEW president Tony Khan addressed Andrade’s circumstances without providing specific details. Khan expressed his desire to work with Andrade again once he is free from the restrictions imposed by his previous contract. This uncertainty adds an element of anticipation for fans eager to see Andrade’s future developments in AEW.
As the wrestling community awaits further updates on Andrade, Omega’s reassuring words reflect the supportive environment within AEW. Professional wrestling often requires performers to navigate challenging situations, but Omega’s faith in Andrade’s determination suggests a bright future ahead for the talented wrestler once he returns to the ring.
