US EditionAndrade Makes History After Returning to AEW; Sets Insane Record
Andrade El Idolo returned to AEW after release from WWE, joining the dominant Don Callis Family faction during AEW Dynamite's sixth-anniversary episode, setting a record for switching promotions twice.
- Andrade El Idolo made a surprise return to AEW Dynamite during the show's six-year anniversary episode on October 2, 2025, in a segment attacking Kenny Omega.
- This return followed Andrade’s mid-September release from WWE due to disciplinary issues and his departure from AEW in December 2023, after which he declined to re-sign with AEW.
- During the AEW segment, Andrade unexpectedly attacked Omega during his promo, disclosed that he had joined forces with Don Callis, and exited the ring alongside Callis after delivering a spinning underhook DDT to Omega.
- Andrade became the first wrestler to switch between WWE and AEW twice, having rejoined WWE at the Royal Rumble event in early 2024 and earned championships in both organizations.
- Andrade’s return to AEW suggests a renewed alignment with a faction noted for strong talent, and it remains to be seen whether this run will develop into a lasting presence.
