Playing down the severity of this injury, Andrade detailed how he's suffering from inflammation in his ankle.

The last time fans saw Andrade in an AEW ring, he put on a barn-burner of a bout against Rey Fenix on the 24 June episode of Rampage.

Coming out of said Rampage showing - in which El Idolo was victorious - AEW nicely set Andrade and long-time partner Rush up for a rivalry with Fenix and Penta Oscura. While that rivalry is indeed still in place, Andrade's ankle issue has obviously caused things to be put on hold for now.

On top of that, Jeff Hardy is in the midst of a suspension after his latest DUI arrest.
