10 Wrestlers Tony Khan Banned From AEW

8. Andrade

CM Punk Tony Khan The Elite

As of this writing, Andrade remains employed by All Elite Wrestling.

'El Idolo' has offered his latest goodbye to AEW fans over social media, but this isn't the first time he's expressed public disappointment with his position. And if rumours are to be believed, not the first time he's tried to get out of his deal. A fight with Sammy Guevara wasn't the smartest play, though.

This comes back to Tony Khan (as every one of these disputes should), of course - the two had expressed a strong dislike for one another on social media for the better part of a week before arriving at the same arena to have a schoolyard fight they'd effectively booked and announced over Twitter specifically.

The scuffle they talked about...happened, and Andrade was sent home. Guevara, meanwhile, was held aloft by his Jericho Appreciation Society teammates in the main event of Dynamite and positioned in a feud alongside his JAS boss against The Blackpool Combat Club on television and pay-per-view. It was hard to perceive this any other way as a statement of support for 'The Spanish God'.
