Less than a month after his release from WWE, Andrade El Idolo made his shocking return to All Elite Wrestling on the sixth anniversary episode of Dynamite, achieving a unique statistical milestone in the process. With his appearance, Andrade became the first wrestler in history to leave WWE, go to AEW, leave AEW to go back to WWE, and now return to AEW. The unprecedented journey highlights the complex and often fluid nature of contracts and talent relationships in the modern wrestling landscape. His return is a major development for AEW, as he immediately aligned himself with the Don Callis Family, attacking Kenny Omega in the process.
Andrade’s professional wrestling career has been a whirlwind of activity and changes in recent years. He first joined AEW in June 2021 after being granted his release from WWE in March 2021. He then exited AEW in December 2023 when his contract expired, making a surprise return to WWE just a month later at the 2024 Royal Rumble. However, his second stint with WWE was short-lived, as he was released in mid-September, reportedly due to disciplinary reasons and a Wellness Policy violation. His immediate return to AEW so quickly after his WWE departure has made headlines and cemented his place in wrestling history as a true “El Idolo” of the modern era.
