00:00For real reason, Andrade was fired by WWE, wrestlers have heat with top WWE management,

00:07Brock Lesnar tears a hole in his bum and more.

00:10I'm Oli Davis, and this is the WrestleTalk News.

00:16In March 2021, Andrade requested his own release from WWE, after being unhappy with creative.

00:23At the end of 2023, Andrade didn't re-sign an extension with AEW amidst long-running

00:29reports of him being unhappy backstage.

00:31He would make his shock return to WWE in the following month's Royal Rumble match, where

00:36Luke and I both said, at the time, let's see how long it takes for Andrade to get just

00:40as unhappy with his booking and leave WWE.

00:43It was cynical.

00:44It was mean.

00:45And it was also about 18 months.

00:47Because on the 13th of September, Fightful Select broke that Andrade had left WWE.

00:53Andrade's last appearance was in the Too Many Men, Too Many Men, TLC Smackdown tag title

00:57match back on the 3rd of August SummerSlam.

00:59He wasn't on the internal injury list, despite not wrestling for the next six weeks, and hadn't

01:04even been backstage at Smackdown as of late.

01:07Something first seemed to be up when WrestleMobs on Twitter noticed that Andrade had been moved

01:11to the alumni section of WWE's roster page.

01:14Fightful sources then told them this was not part of a batch of WWE cuts, and that Andrade's

01:20departure had been in the works for at least a week.

01:24Andrade also affected immediate creative plans, which had Andrade and his tag partner Ray

01:28Phoenix booked to challenge the Wyatt Six for the tag titles at Clash in Paris in a spot

01:33that ended up going to the Street Profits.

01:36Which implies Andrade's release had been caused by something behind the scenes, and

01:40relatively recently.

01:42A number of talent in both WWE and AEW had no idea that Andrade had left, or was even leaving

01:49the company.

01:50So what happened?

01:51Bryan Alba was the first to shed some more light on the situation, writing in Sports Illustrated

01:55that Andrade hadn't been at TV tapings for nearly a month, and that he was effectively

02:00released by the company, and that the departure was not a mutual decision, i.e. he was fired

02:07by WWE.

02:08BW Insider quickly corroborated that, writing that Andrade's exit was the company's

02:13call, and that some had heard rumours as far back as SummerSlam that he wouldn't

02:16be with WWE much longer.

02:19Wrestling Observer Radio then revealed the real reason Andrade was given a Spanish archer,

02:24which is to say, the elbow.

02:26He was not fired until today, but a couple of weeks ago there was a disciplinary thing,

02:31and all I know is, it was at a TV shoot and he was told to go home, and he's not been

02:35used since.

02:36Dave Meltzer explained it wasn't drug, alcohol or marriage related, perhaps a reference

02:41to his divorce from fellow SmackDown star Charlotte Flair, which had been finalised last October,

02:46but that whatever it was, it was enough for WWE to take the serious step of sending him

02:50home.

02:51Does not happen often these days.

02:53Apparently the people who knew the reason expected him to not be brought back.

02:58Like a quickly unravelling mystery, this brought another report from John Alba.

03:02Alba revealed that Andrade had at least one wellness policy violation since he returned to

03:07WWE in January 2024, which means he either tested positive for a substance banned by WWE, or he

03:14failed to produce a test sample.

03:16This led to him being suspended without pay, which is usually 60 days for a second fail.

03:21This was actually Andrade's second wellness policy violation overall, as in his previous

03:26run with the company, he was suspended for 30 days in January 2020.

03:30WWE has stopped publishing wellness policy violations since they merged with TKO in September

03:352023, which is why Andrade's second instance wasn't public knowledge until now.

03:41Alba corroborated the incident that got him sent home in mid-August.

03:44Andrade was told to leave a taping last month, and was escorted out of the building.

03:49A high level source asserted this dismissal from the building was in relation to his most

03:54recent suspension, and that it affected major creative plans for his tag team with Rey

03:59Phoenix.

04:00Perhaps the situation could have still been resolved, but Andrade was too busy being Tranquillo,

04:06as according to Corey Hayes of Bodyslam.net, WWE had tried to get in touch with him for

04:11several weeks, but he was unreachable.

04:13That means in just over five years, Andrade has violated WWE's wellness policy in 2020,

04:19requested and been granted his release from WWE and joined AEW in 2021, got in a backstage

04:26fight in AEW apparently in an attempt to get fired from AEW in 2022, didn't sign a contract

04:33extension at the last minute so left AEW at the end of 2023, rejoined WWE in 2024, got

04:40a second wellness policy violation and suspension for 60 days, created some form of backstage

04:45incident that was serious enough to get sent home for, and then fired by WWE in 2025.

04:52With a run of attitude issues like that, he'll find it very difficult to get work in a major

04:56wrestling promotion again.

04:57Psych, it'll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

05:01Meltzer noted in his report that one of WWE's plans for Andrade was to use him as a star in

05:06AAA.

05:07PWInsider, however, claimed this was never pitched in WWE.

05:10If it was, though, perhaps it could all still weirdly work, as he could be rehired under a different

05:15contract for that purpose.

05:17Especially because if the WWE acquired AAA don't, the other Mexican promotion, which

05:22is AEW affiliated, likely definitely will.

05:26One of the biggest wrestling success stories of this year is CMLL, who has run packed out

05:30Arena Mexico shows every Friday night in 2025.

05:34And having an innate sense of both controversy and business, MJF, who has been feuding with

05:39Mystico in the promotion over the summer, has publicly called Andrade out.

05:43Hey yo Andrade, I'mma be in Mexico beating the ever-loving shit out of Mystico in front

05:49of all your broke-ass countrymen.

05:50Let me know if you want to grab a margarita before I hop on my jet to Toronto to whoop Mark

05:55Briscoe's hillbilly ass.

05:57Despite Andrade leaving AEW under bad circumstances, Tony Khan has made sure to talk positively about

06:03him in interviews since.

06:04Fightful claims that, despite his behind the scenes behaviour, AEW wanted to retain Andrade going

06:10into 2024, but it was him who left.

06:13However, apparently, no bridge is truly burned in AEW.

06:18So he could still make a return there, giving Bea Priestley a run for who's jumped between

06:21companies the most.

06:22Before I get into the rest of the news, here's a very special message from Turbo Jack, who's

06:28looking very muscly I must say, like the guy's been working out.

06:32Good work, Turbo Jack.

06:34I made his wrestler Turbo Jack, and you can't spell Wrestle Palooza without Turbo Jack.

06:42Turbo Jack's waiting on that call, Trips.

06:44Got the boots laced up, the spandex on, the cocaine snorted.

06:49Turbo Jack's ready.

06:51I can't spell.

06:52That WWE vs AEW ain't the only war in wrestling.

06:56Right now, over on Parts For Known, the new series of Monday Night War.

07:01With Luke vs. Oli vs. Dan, the truth laden has just begun.

07:07And you can watch the weekly TV episodes on Patreon.com forward slash WrestleTalk.

07:12That's Patreon.com forward slash WrestleTalk.

07:15Patreon.com forward slash WrestleTalk.

07:19And if you pledge at the $60 tier, you get a shout out from Turbo Jack.

07:23Right here on the WrestleTalk News, like Big Jiggy Josh Martin, born to do it, Evan Shibley,

07:30John's better brief for your brother, James Morrison, the abominable Michael Abbott, the

07:34ring rust warrior Rustich, the machine gun Alex Anderson, he's a sexy man.

07:40I'll land you gross man.

07:44Meanwhile, elsewhere in Mexico, Mr Iguana had a match.

07:57It's Mr Iguana!

07:58He's got an Iguana!

08:00Yes, Dominic Mysterio beat the Kingo to become the AAA Mega Champion at Friday's Worlds

08:04Collide Show, making him a double champion along with his Intercontinental title belt.

08:08But the true main event was between The Judgment Day's Finn Balor and Roxanne Perez against

08:14Lola Weiss and Mr Iguana.

08:17Which turned into a six person slash puppet match when Mr Iguana's Lajeska had a crazy

08:22suicide dive on Balor's Demon Ito.

08:24Balor has now updated us on Demon Ito's condition, poor Ito is banged up and bruised

08:29and on the way home for some much needed rest and recovery.

08:32Which reminds me, WWE released Mr Iguana puppets last week.

08:36Now, I couldn't order one from the US site, annoyingly, so I had to order one from a European

08:40based place called DefinitelyRealWweMerch.net.

08:47I can't wait!

08:48I love officially licensed products and how closely they match the real thing.

08:51I love it!

08:52I'm Mr Iguana!

08:53I've got an Iguana!

08:55And here's what Andrade could have won news.

08:57Rey Fenix got a star making singles performance against Sami Zayn on Smackdown on Friday in the

09:02second US title open challenge.

09:04And it turns out, this Rey Fenix is pretty excellent.

09:08Oh wait, sorry, I've got a phone call.

09:11Looks like it's me from 2020.

09:13Yep, hi there, me from 2020.

09:15Yep.

09:16Yep.

09:17Mm-hmm.

09:18Oh yeah, I've known that for five years!

09:20If Sami keeps this up and isn't just filling time until the Solo Sokoa rematch, this open

09:24challenge could be one of the best things on WWE TV.

09:27The show opened, however, with Brock Lesnar being interrupted by the serious mean wrong killings.

09:32Oh no, sorry, I actually mean total comedy character R-Truth Ron Cena.

09:37So that whole release thing was worth it.

09:39The best part was Brock ripping his jeans in the ass when he hit an F5, which wouldn't

09:43be the last ass-based wrestling of the night.

09:46Jay Cargill and Tiffany Stratton had a much better match than their Summerslam one, but

09:49WWE didn't want to beat either woman, so he got a double count out draw and then an

09:53Ion Jax beat down, and Drew McIntyre beat Randy Orton in the main event, which led Cody

09:57Rhodes to make the save and challenge Drew for a match at Wrestle Palooza.

10:04Which Drew replied to on Twitter, The Rock wants Cody's soul, I want his ass.

10:10The ass, Bill.

10:12The ass.

10:13In more WWE bridge burning news, MVP has appeared on the Chris Van Vliet show to explain why

10:18he left WWE.

10:19Initially, he spoke about how much he disagreed with Vince McMahon shutting down the Hurt business,

10:24even though MVP and Bobby Lashley begged him to keep it going.

10:27But even though Vince was gone by the time MVP's contract came up for renewal last year, he

10:32knew he wouldn't agree with the new people in charge either.

10:35I made it very clear that I don't want to be there anymore.

10:38There are people there in management that I dislike immensely.

10:42A person.

10:43And I wouldn't even bother to get into that.

10:45It's people Mike Bailey.

10:46But I just knew that with certain people in charge, and that's how the wrestling

10:49game is, that's how life is, I don't care where you work, when management changes,

10:54some people are out, other people are in.

10:56And I knew it was time to go.

10:58I wasn't going to re-sign.

10:59I was in Bobby's ear constantly like, don't re-sign, Sheldon got released, don't re-sign,

11:05let's you, me and Shelton get back together, let's go to AEW.

11:09Oddly, Jake Hager, the former Jack Swagger in WWE, has also revealed he has heat with top

11:15WWE management.

11:16When he was asked about returning for a Royal Rumble cameo on Sportskeeda's WrestleBinge,

11:21he answered, I sincerely doubt it, I don't think they like me very much.

11:25When he was asked more specifically who he meant by, they, Hager answered, whoever books

11:29the Royal Rumble, I think we all know who MVP and Jake Hager are talking about.

11:35That politicking son of a bitch Chris Parks, god damn he seems like such a horrible person

11:40behind the scenes.

11:41Exciting news, the brand new season of Monday Night War begins today.

11:46And this time it's not just Oli vs Luke, it's Oli vs Luke vs the returning Dan Layden.

11:52Yeah!

11:53And they all got a bit too silly and came up with a ridiculous theme for the series.

11:58You can watch the draft day episode by clicking the video on screen now, yay!
