Brett Lauderdale Says Andrade El Idolo Was Booked For GCW Spring Break 2021
Andrade El Idolo was released by WWE in March 2021.
He made his AEW debut on the June 4, 2021 episode of AEW Dynamite as the new client of Vickie Guerrero.
According to GCW owner Brett Lauderdale, Andrade was scheduled to be at GCW Spring Break 2021 on April 9, but his signing with AEW prevented it from happening.
Lauderdale took part in a Reddit AMA where he was asked about any major bookings that fell through for the promotion.
He replied, “We actually had Andrade (one of my favorite wrestlers) booked for Spring Break Tampa. He was gonna make a surprise appearance to setup a match with Lio Rush in Atlantic City. But, between the time he was booked and the day of the show, he signed with AEW and pulled off so that AEW could be his first show back.”
AEW talent has appeared at GCW events throughout the years with names like Jon Moxley and Ruby Soho wrestling for GCW.
Jeff Hardy is set to make an appearance at GCW in Detroit on August 4.
