Andrade El Idolo is officially back in the AEW fold.
The former WWE star made a surprise appearance on Dynamite, aligning himself with the Don Callis Family. Following a trios match involving The Demand, Jack Perry, and The Young Bucks, Andrade—initially disguised in a mask—revealed himself and joined the attack on the Bucks and Perry.
Shortly after the show, Tony Khan confirmed the signing on X (formerly Twitter), officially welcoming Andrade back to the roster.
Andrade had previously appeared in October 2025, but legal issues regarding a non-compete clause with WWE stalled his run. Now free and clear, Andrade is ready to make an impact, fresh off appearances at Wrestle Kingdom 20 and New Year Dash.
