Major reason why AEW once again signed Andrade

Andrade made his unexpected return to All Elite Wrestling this week on Dynamite. This return made a lot of headlines because El Idolo recently left WWE all of a sudden. While many fans predicted his comeback to the Jacksonville-based promotion, few expected it to happen this quickly. Now, a recent report reveals a major reason for the former United States Champion joining AEW.

The 35-year-old left All Elite Wrestling in 2023 to make his return to WWE in the Royal Rumble 2024. However, after a lackluster run in the company, El Idolo was overlooked and later released due to violating wellness policies, according to some reports. This week on Dynamite, El Idolo made his comeback to AEW by taking out Kenny Omega in the closing moments of the show.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, AEW is aiming to expand the company's presence in Mexico. Therefore, a major idea behind bringing back Andrade was to push him as the company's face in Mexico, considering his immense popularity in the region.
