Chavo Guerrero Details His Departure From AEW

AEW

A former WWE star has detailed his departure from All Elite Wrestling.

In 2021, Chavo Guerrero debuted in AEW as the manager for Andrade El Idolo.

However, their alliance was short lived when Andrade turned on Chavo. Guerrero was subsequently written off television after.

In a recent interview with The Wrestling Perspective Podcast, the former WWE star was asked if he will return to AEW.

Guerrero answered:

“Being involved in wrestling is always really cool. That all came about where Tony brought me in. It was kind of a daily type thing. I was doing stuff with Andrade. I didn’t know when I was going back to Young Rock Season two. They called and said, ‘Hey, okay, we have our dates. This is when we’re coming back.’ So I had a talk with Tony and said, ‘Look, I know we’re doing right. We’re doing well here, but do you think you can match what they’re paying? I think it’s probably better for me to go do this.’ He was like, ‘No problem. No problem. Okay, so let’s write you out of the storyline really quick.’ I had Andrade turn on me and then we’ll have all the plans of me coming back.”

Chavo continued on to detail how communication faded between himself and Tony Khan, saying:

“Up until like, two or three weeks of me coming back, I mean, leaving Young Rock, we were still talking on the phone, and then, like Tony does, he went silent. So when he went silent, I was like, ‘Okay, what’s going on?’ I was going to come back and pick up right where we left off and it just didn’t happen. So back to your question. You know, if it can work out with my shooting schedule, then absolutely. I love being involved in wrestling. It’s still my passion.”

AEW has found themselves in a talent relations nightmare as of late across multiple stars involved in backstage drama.

Several stars from the company have reportedly been suspended following the post-All Out backstage fight between CM Punk and The Elite, which you can read about here.
