• Tony Khan Explains To A Fan Why Andrade El Idolo Isn’t Being Pushed To The Moon In AEW Right Now
Under Tony Khan’s tweet to promote the 50th episode of AEW Rampage (which aired last night), a fan wrote the following:
“I don’t understand how one of the best wrestlers on the planet, Andrade El Idolo, who also has one of the best presentations, isn’t being pushed to the moon – or even appearing more often.”
Tony replied:
“He’ll be ringside for Private Party vs Lucha Bros on #AEWRampage on @TNTdrama tonight, he’s been hurt since the classic vs @ReyFenixMx 3 weeks ago.
He got @IsiahKassidy & @Marq_Quen to help him tonight, & Lucha Bros both still want a piece of @AndradeElIdolo & @rushtoroblanco too.”
Andrade then tweeted the following about his injury:
“Nothing serious. I have inflammation in my ankle, it is because I have been in the business for almost 20 years!!!
I’ll be back in a week or 2!! Nothing serious.”
