Andrade reveals the scrapped plans for the WWE and AAA event: Worlds Collide

After his departure from WWE, Andrade has made many public appearances to stay in the spotlight of the wrestling world. This involves doing interviews, in which he usually shares very interesting information. In a recent interview with Eduardo Bates, El Ídolo commented that, for the event Worlds Collide, the first joint event between WWE and AAA in history, the main event was going to be a four-way match, something that ultimately did not happen.

Andrade mentioned that the original plan was for El Hijo del Vikingo, AAA Megachampion at the time, to face Andrade himself, Oba Femi (NXT champion at that time), and Rey Fénix, with whom the Mexican himself teamed up during his last weeks in the company.

"I was going to be in the first AAA event. They told me the match would be between Vikingo, Fénix, the NXT Champion, Oba Femi. Oba Femi. It was him and me. It was going to be a four-way match in the first event in... I think Los Angeles". 

The former United States champion of WWE also revealed that the idea of including him and Fénix in the match was to avoid a one-on-one between Vikingo and Femi, as the physical difference between them was huge: "I was told: "We liked it because we know you can work with Fénix, but also with Vikingo, so that Vikingo doesn't look too small next to Oba Femi" ".

In the end, this decision was revoked, as the match was canceled. Andrade competed in the Money in the Bank ladder match, which was held that same night, and Chad Gable and El Hijo del Vikingo battled in a brutal contest for the AAA Megachampionship.

Meanwhile, Andrade is experiencing his first months outside of a major American company. After his departure from WWE and his brief appearance in AEW, El Ídolo got into a tense situation with WWE that is still being resolved. Initially, it seemed that, for breaching his contract with the company, Andrade had to comply with a non-compete clause in the United States for a full year. However, it seems that this may be resolved with an agreement.
