Andrade El Idolo Returns to AEW, Signs New Contract Days After WWE Exit

Andrade El Idolo made a shocking return to AEW Dynamite during the company's 6th Anniversary show, immediately aligning himself with the Don Callis Family faction after attacking Kenny Omega post-match. His return followed his release from WWE less than a month prior, with reports confirming he signed a new full-time contract with AEW and faced no non-compete clause, allowing an immediate comeback. Andrade's return is notable as he is the first wrestler to transition from WWE to AEW, back to WWE, and then return to AEW, reestablishing himself in a prominent storyline with a refreshed look and a direct feud with Omega. The AEW event also featured other highlights, including a six-man tag match involving Omega and the Young Bucks and the debut of a new character named El Clon, which influenced the TNT Championship storyline. Andrade expressed gratitude towards AEW and its staff upon his departure last year, suggesting his previous exit was on good terms. His return to AEW signals a renewed push for the star, potentially elevating his status within the company as the Don Callis Family faction evolves.
