Andrade is officially All Elite again. After making a surprise return on the October 1 episode of AEW Dynamite, the former WWE Superstar has now signed a full-time deal with All Elite Wrestling.
According to Fightful Select, Andrade had no non-compete clause after being fired by WWE earlier this summer, clearing the way for an immediate return to the ring. His return saw him attack Kenny Omega and align himself with the Don Callis Familyinstantly shaking up the AEW landscape.
The post-match chaos unfolded after Kenny Omega and Brodido defeated The Young Bucks and Josh Alexander. As Omega celebrated, the Bucks launched a beatdown before Jack Perry and Luchasaurus hit the ring to make the save. But tension flared between Perry and Omega, leading to a heated face-offuntil the lights went out.
When they came back on, Andrade stood in the center of the ring and took out Omega with a brutal assault. Now, with his signing official, Andrade is back on a major stage and immediately involved in one of AEWs biggest storylines.
His last WWE appearance came at SummerSlam, where he teamed with Rey Fenix in a six-pack TLC match for the Tag Team Championships. He had not been seen since, and WWE never formally acknowledged his departure.
Andrades arrival in AEW not only boosts the Don Callis Family, but it also gives him a clean slate to build something on his termsno restrictions, no corporate silence, and no wasted time.
