Konnan is a renowned wrestling veteran

The AEW roster has seemingly been fractured over the past few months, with many stars like Andrade El Idolo rumored to be unhappy with the promotion. According to WCW veteran Konnan, the star was seen backstage at WWE WrestleMania 39.

Rumors of a backstage altercation between Andrade and Sammy Guevara and a preceding Twitter spat seemingly put the former's unhappiness with the promotion out in the open. Fans have since been speculating that the Mexican star could be planning to return to WWE as soon as his AEW contract expires.

During the "BONUS Mailbag" episode of Keepin' It 100, Konnan discussed Ric Flair's WWE Hall of Fame 2023 speech and mentioned that both The Nature Boy and Andrade El Idolo were backstage at WrestleMania 39.

"Did he go out with his daughter? Because I saw him backstage with her. He was backstage with her before the match [at WrestleMania 39], [and] so was Andrade." (07:25 onward)

Despite not appearing on AEW television for months, Andrade is often seen in pictures Charlotte Flair posts on her social media handles. The Queen recently shared a new photo alongside her husband after receiving a birthday present from him.

Andrade El Idolo recently hinted that his AEW contract would expire soon

Andrade's NXT run was highly praised by fans, and many believed he'd be an even bigger star on the main roster. While some lauded his run with the United States Championship, the star eventually became unhappy with his booking in the Stamford-based company before finally requesting his release.

During an interview with Lucha Libre Online earlier this month, the star clarified that he was still signed to All Elite Wrestling but that his contract would expire soon.

"I'm with AEW to make it clear. Soon, my contract will expire. I had a tear in my chest, and I had surgery in November. I was out for four months, but soon, I’ll be back. I was at the Hall of Fame accompanying my wife and to be next to a great friend Rey Mysterio (...) He’s the symbol for all the Latinos, Rey Mysterio," Andrade said. (H/T: WrestlingNews)

It remains to be seen if he'll shock fans and stay with All Elite Wrestling or if he'll be able to start afresh on the main roster upon possibly returning to WWE. Fans must stay tuned to see what's next in the Mexican star's wrestling career.
