Andrade: I’ve Left Most Companies on Good Terms

Andrade speaks about his exit from WWE after winning the Crash World Heavyweight Title, saying he has left most companies on good terms.

On Friday, October 3, 2025, Andrade competed in his first match since departing from WWE & his return to AEW. In said match, he answered DMT Azul’s open challenge & won the World Heavyweight Title from The Crash in Tijuana, Mexico. After winning, he spoke about his road to said win.

Speaking in an interview with TJ Sports, he briefly discussed his return to The Crash & mentioned that he had left most companies on good terms. He also mentioned he advises younger wrestlers not to speak ill of companies because they will always be there. He said the following:

“Tijuana is an important place to me. Since the era of Rey Mysterio, Hijo del Santo, La Parka, Super Parka (Volador), I remember seeing them in magazines. Today, I’m headlining big shows coming back here. As you say, when I left WWE (in 2021), my first appearance was here in Tijuana. I’m very grateful to The Crash for giving me the opportunity. My advice to the younger stars is to never speak badly about the companies. I’ve always left most companies on good terms.

I left WWE on good terms, AEW on good terms, The Crash on good terms, CMLL on good terms, and AAA on good terms. Tomorrow we may return, so I tell all wrestlers not to speak ill of the companies, because they will always be there. Wrestlers come and go, we get hurt, we die, but wrestling goes on. I was young and occasionally spoke about companies, but I have always respected all of them, from AAA, The Crash, CMLL, which was my home for a long time, to AEW, WWE, and NJPW. I have never had the opportunity to wrestle in NOAH, but I respect all companies.

The Crash allowed me to have my first match (after leaving WWE), and I am grateful to Tijuana, its people, and all the wrestlers who have welcomed me. Once again, thank you very much, The Crash. I will represent this championship (The Crash World Heavyweight Championship).”

Andrade returned to AEW on the 6th Anniversary of AEW Dynamite. On said show, he attacked Kenny Omega and aligned himself with The Don Callis Family. Fightful Select reported that he left WWE on September 13 and is now signed to a full-time deal with AEW.
