Andrade says he is set to return to the ring tonight.

During a recent interview with Sportskeeda, Andrade said WWE sent a signed letter to his lawyer allowing him to participate in World Wrestling Council’s show in Puerto Rico on Saturday December 13, where he will challenge Xavant for the WWC Universal Championship.

Andrade said:

“I want to say thank you to my lawyer because my lawyer now has a letter from WWE. Because we had some little problems because I have the no-compete for 12 months.”

“Today my lawyer texted me and told me that Andrade, I have a letter signed that you can participate tonight in Puerto Rico in the company WWC.”

Andrade clarified that the letter only clears him to work this specific show.

“I hope back soon to AEW. I don’t know when I’m back. For now, the letter is for just this show for Puerto Rico.”

Andrade had previously been scheduled to wrestle for WWC in October, but was later pulled from the event due to his contractual situation with WWE.

WWC Lockout: The Closing of the Season 2025 is scheduled for the Cancha Pepín Cestero in Bayamón, Puerto Rico, and is the promotion’s final event of the year.
