Andrade El Idolo became the new WWC Universal Champion on Saturday night during his return to Puerto Rico.
The former WWE star defeated Xavant in the main event of WWC Lockout at the Cancha Pepín Cestero in Bayamón.
Prior to the event, Andrade addressed his status regarding a 12-month non-compete clause he is currently serving. He stated that his lawyer received a letter from WWE granting approval for his participation, though he noted the exemption applied solely to Saturday’s show.
WWC posted the following statement regarding the result:
