Andrade made his AEW return during the October 1st edition of Dynamite, having already signed a deal with the company. Many people were happy to see him back but journalist Dave Meltzer was not one of them and now Andrade has called out Meltzer in a big way.
Andrade took to Twitter and fired back at Dave Meltzer, telling him he talks too much without any proof. He explained that when his AEW contract ended, he personally went to thank Tony Khan face-to-face for giving him the chance to work there.
Andrade said that was all he wanted to say, but if he chose to speak more, he could prove Meltzer wrong on many things. He ended his message by saying Meltzer keeps hurting the wrestling business and wished him the best.
This comes after Dave Meltzer talked about Tony Khans choice to re-sign Andrade on Wrestling Observer Radio. He claimed Tony thought they had a new deal ready, even though nothing was signed. Tony tried to keep Andrade until the very last moment, but Andrade had already decided to go back to WWE. When his contract ended, he left.
Melzer compared Andrades situation to others like Malakai Black, William Regal, and Miro, saying they didnt have long-term success in AEW and mostly saw it as a backup plan.
Meltzer claimed that people close to Andrade said he always saw WWE as more important than AEW, which could cause problems. Meltzer ended by saying that if Tony Khan doesnt learn from these mistakes, hell keep making the same ones again.
Andrades response makes it clear hes not only motivated in the ring but also ready to defend his integrity off it. So well just have to wait and see if Andrade will redeem himself during his second run in AEW.
