Andrade El Idolos contract issues just got even murkierand now Eric Bischoff is weighing in.
The WWE Hall of Famer didnt hold back during a recent episode of his 83 Weeks podcast, where he dissected the legal chaos surrounding Andrades status with WWE and AEW. The former WCW boss questioned how Andrade was able to appear on AEW television while reportedly still under some form of WWE non-compete, especially if he breached his deal before exiting.
Bischoff also broke down the legal reality of non-competes, pointing out that many of them dont hold up in court depending on the stateand whether the talent is willing to fight back.
He then turned his attention to AEW President Tony Khan, saying theres little chance Khan would willingly go through a long and expensive court battle to fight WWE over Andrades non-compete.
Bischoff said he would love to see it play out in courtbut not because of Andrade. He believes it could completely shift how wrestling contracts are handled in the future.
Meanwhile, Andrade remains stuck in limbo. AEW is reportedly waiting to bring him back once the legal mess clears, but that wont happen unless someone steps up and challenges WWEs aggressive enforcement.
Do you think Tony Khan should risk a legal fight over Andrades non-compete? Or is it smarter to wait it out? Drop your thoughts in the commentswe want to hear what side youre on.
