After tearing his pectoral muscle a few months ago, Andrade El Idolo underwent pectoral surgery last month.
The AEW star first revealed the news in an Instagram post. He stated that when the injury occurred, he wanted to finish his match because he loves wrestling.
Andrade also included a clip from the 8/17 Dynamite with the Trios match against The Elite, which featured himself, Rush, and Dragon Lee, indicating the match in which he was injured.
Andrade has been sidelined since September. As seen below, he has already returned to the gym to recover:

Andrade was sent home by AEW in October after a backstage brawl with Sammy Guevara. This came after they exchanged tweets, including one in which Guevara accused Andrade of wanting to return to WWE.
