Andrade: I Never Missed Dates And Never Stopped Answering The Cell Phone In WWE, I Don’t Feel Bad About My Exit

Andrade debunks the idea that he missed dates and stopped answering his cell phone while under contract with WWE.

In mid September, Andrade would exit WWE after being released from his contract with the company, with reports in the aftermath suggesting that he stopped answering calls and showing up for certain dates with the company.

While speaking to Eduardo Bates, Andrade addressed his exit, noting that he doesn’t feel bad about it, and claimed the he never missed dates or stopped answering the phone.

“The truth is a long story. I don’t feel bad about my WWE exit. I am very grateful for how much, or little, I did in that year and a half. I never missed dates and never stopped answering the cell phone as many gossipy people who broke the news said. Yes, I was traveling and they called me. What happened was that I had a day trip because I was not scheduled and they called me to me. I returned the call at about one or two hours, but nothing to do with the fact that I didn’t want to answer or that I disappeared. It was one, two, three hours that I didn’t answer and it was just the company sending me a message that ‘where are you?’, and things like that. I don’t know who got that story that I didn’t want to answer. I was out of the country, I explained to them that it was because of the time difference, the internet, no signal, many things, but nothing to do with me never answering them or anything like that.”

Elsewhere in the same interview, Andrade would note that he understands why WWE enforced his non-compete after he appeared on AEW television. You can read more about that here.
