Andrade El Idolo recently parted ways with WWE for the second time, prompting AEW figure Jeff Jarrett to offer candid guidance to the former NXT Champion. Jarrett emphasized personal accountability, advising Andrade to reflect on his professional conduct following his WWE exit.
The Path of Andrade’s WWE and AEW Career
After concluding his AEW tenure with a loss to Miro at Worlds End 2023, Andrade returned to WWE at the Royal Rumble last year. Upon rejoining, he immediately entered a feud with The Judgement Day, followed by a notable rivalry against Carmelo Hayes. Despite strong performances, Andrade was unable to capture the United States Championship and fell short in the Money in the Bank Ladder Matches of both 2024 and 2025. Nevertheless, he held the Speed Championship briefly during this period.
More recently, Andrade partnered with Rey Fenix as a tag team, challenging The Wyatt Sicks in a Six Pack TLC match for the WWE Tag Team Titles at SummerSlam last month. This match marked Andrade’s final WWE appearance before his departure earlier in the current month. Reports have linked his exit to alleged disciplinary problems within the company.
Jeff Jarrett Addresses Andrade’s Conduct and Potential
On the My World podcast, Jeff Jarrett praised Andrade’s impressive athleticism and dedication while also reminding him of the importance of accountability. Jarrett highlighted the need for self-reflection given Andrade’s history of backstage issues impacting his career trajectory.
“I’ve said it on this podcast multiple times…[Andrade] has incredible athletic ability…He’s got an aura. He works his a** off… He won’t be the first, and he won’t be the last that comes in with a boatload of potential…It starts with the man in the mirror.”

“I’ve certainly been there… I hope nothing but the best for the guy and that he pulls his nose up…When you’re escorted from a building? No bueno…. Wake up today, and figure out ‘Let me look at my role in every set of circumstances that’s taken place’… Fail to plan, plan to fail…You gotta be better,”
— Jeff Jarrett, AEW personality
Andrade’s Upcoming Appearances Post-WWE
News of Andrade’s release by WWE roughly two weeks ago sparked debate among fans who felt his return failed to meet expectations. Nevertheless, Andrade has lined up appearances in other promotions. He is scheduled to perform at The Crash Lucha Libre event on October 3 in Tijuana, Mexico.
Additionally, Andrade is confirmed for House of Glory’s Superclash show on November 15 in Bretwood, New York. These appearances mark his continued effort to rebuild momentum outside WWE and maintain his presence in professional wrestling.
The Implications of Andrade’s Departure and Future Prospects
Andrade’s exit from WWE under disciplinary circumstances raises questions about the challenges faced by talented wrestlers balancing personal conduct with professional opportunity. Jeff Jarrett’s advice underscores the critical need for self-awareness and responsibility to sustain a successful career in wrestling.
With upcoming matches on independent circuits, Andrade has the chance to reestablish his reputation and demonstrate growth. His performances in The Crash Lucha Libre and House of Glory events will likely serve as indicators of his readiness for potential future engagements in larger wrestling companies.
