Andrade El Idolo was released by WWE recently but the former NXT Champion is now on AEW
AEW keeps producing some shocks and they did so again on the latest episode of Dynamite.
This took place just after SmackDown and well, they brought out a former WWE Champion. Andrade was shockingly released by WWE a while back and the former NXT Champion seems to have teamed up with Vickie Guerrero, another former WWE star.
Andrade is now being called Andrade El Idolo on AEW and he promised to be the top star in the business.
The Mexican isn’t the first WWE star to join AEW, but his signing could be on the same levels as Jon Moxley joining All Elite Wrestling.
Rusev, now known as Miro, is also one of the big names to have joined AEW after being cut from WWE.
It will be interesting to see if Lana will also join her husband but Andrade’s would be wife, Charlotte, reacted to this move with several emojis.
The wrestling world speculated a lot when Andrade posed with Charlotte recently. Some believed that the pair were going to be parents with Charlotte being pregnant.
Others claimed that Andrade was joining another promotion but AEW wasn’t always on the cards. Andrade had been calling out Lucha wrestlers from other promotions but his move comes as a bit of a shock.
Andrade is one of the most talented wrestlers in the business and it will be interesting to see how AEW uses him.
They now have a big roster of top singles competitors and Andrade could be in line for some title shots. The TNT title is one where he could battle Miro, who recently won the gold from Darby Allin. Of course, there is also the AEW title and a battle between Andrade and Kenny Omega would be something special.
