Andrade El Idolo tore his pectoral muscle during the recent six-man match against The Elite.
We reported earlier this week that Andrade had a torn pec and recently underwent surgery, which was his first operation. In an update, Andrade confirmed on Twitter this week that he suffered the injury on the August 17 House of The Dragon edition of AEW Dynamite, when he teamed with Rush and Dragon Lee to defeat The Elite.
Andrade stated that the injury occurred during the six-man suplex at the start of the fight.
“THIS IS THE MATCH WHERE MY INJURY HAPPENED I LEAVE YOU PART OF THE MATCH. You can’t imagine in what movement we can get injured, it happened to me in the 6-man Suplex almost starting the match but I wanted to finish as a professional,” he wrote with the photo and video seen below.
There’s no word on when Andrade will return to the ring, but WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair hinted earlier this week that his son-in-law might be out for a while. The typical recovery time for a torn pec is 6-8 months, but no timetable for Andrade has been announced.
Andrade hasn’t wrestled since the September 4 Casino Ladder Match at AEW All Out.
