Andrade Returns, Attacks Kenny Omega, Signs with AEW

Andrade El Idolo returned on AEW Dynamite’s sixth‑anniversary episode, attacking Kenny Omega after an in‑ring promo and aligning with the Don Callis Family. WWE released Andrade in mid‑September and, according to multiple reports, did not enforce a standard 90‑day non‑compete after cutting him “outright” amid reported Wellness Policy violations and disciplinary issues, allowing him to appear for AEW almost immediately. Fightful Select and other outlets report Andrade has signed a full‑time deal with AEW. His comeback marks the first time a wrestler has moved between WWE and AEW twice (WWE→AEW→WWE→AEW) and has generated backstage and social‑media heat. AEW’s rapid re‑signing and immediate storyline placement suggest the promotion intends to use Andrade prominently, with possible feuds lined up against Kenny Omega and MJF.
