Konnan on whether 34-year-old star is unhappy after leaving AEW for WWE
WWE Superstars are trying to make a mark on the weekly shows as they head to Scotland for the first time for Clash at The Castle 2024. Meanwhile, Konnan gave his honest opinion on whether Andrade is unhappy after leaving AEW for WWE.
Andrade spent over two years with All Elite Wrestling after he was released from WWE in 2021. Apart from a few hits inside the square circle, the former NXT Champion was never fully utilized on Dynamite, Rampage, or Collision. Earlier this year, he returned to Stamford-based company under Triple H's regime.
Speaking on Keepin' It 100, one of the hosts questioned Andrade's recent post on X/Twitter. Konnan spoke about it and believes the star has no reason to be unhappy as he's with his friends and wife in the promotion. Moreover, the veteran stated that he's being used more and better than they did at AEW.
"He [Andrade] beat Apollo Crews... Compared to what they did with him in AEW, he should be jumping through hoops, dude. Maybe, you misinterpreted it. Why would he be unhappy? Act with his wife [Charlotte Flair] too when she comes back. Bro, he's there with his boys [Dragon Lee & Rey Mysterio]. I don't think he's unhappy," said Konnan. [From 01:00 to 01:35]
