He was finally granted his release in March. He debuted in All Elite Wrestling shortly after his WWE exit. Andrade is engaged to WWE Superstar Charlotte Flair and the former Women's Champion had a heartfelt reaction to his AEW debut. Flair is one of the biggest stars in WWE and it seems highly unlikely that she will ever leave the company to join another promotion.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
