But just as fast as he returned, he vanished\u2014and now even the people in the know are staying tight-lipped.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/posts\/details-on-aew-141308008\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">According to Fightful Select,<\/a> multiple sources spoke to Andrade in the past week and said he seemed to be in good spirits, but never gave any clear explanation for why he\u2019d been pulled from upcoming matches or why he hasn\u2019t been featured on TV since his return.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe spoke to sources that spoke to Andrade in the last week, who said he seemed in good spirits, but didn\u2019t indicate why he\u2019d pulled from recent shows and hadn\u2019t been on AEW TV since reappearing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s making this more bizarre is just how quiet things have become behind the scenes. Even those connected to AEW reportedly don\u2019t see this situation as directly Andrade\u2019s or AEW\u2019s fault\u2014but no one will say exactly what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe little bit of response we got was that Andrade is in fact signed, but that the absence was something that at least one person didn\u2019t see as AEW or Andrade\u2019s specific fault.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This comes after Wrestling Observer Radio\u2019s Bryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer also questioned Andrade\u2019s status, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringsidenews.com\/andrade-el-idolos-status-aew-remains-mystery-sudden-disappearance\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">noting he had disappeared after just one return segment <\/a>and was pulled from a planned match against LA Park. Meltzer added that people close to the situation know the real reason\u2014but are refusing to share it.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever\u2019s going on, Andrade\u2019s absence from AEW is now officially one of the company\u2019s most unexplained storylines\u2014or non-storylines.<\/p>\n<p>Do you think Andrade\u2019s disappearance is tied to something behind the scenes\u2014or is AEW playing the long game with a surprise storyline?
