Fans recently reacted to a segment featuring Andrade that was aired during WWE SmackDown a few days ago. Many joked about how it looked like the luchador was back in AEW.
El Idolo spent roughly three years with the Tony Khan-led promotion. He was even able to compete in one final match during the Worlds End Pay-Per-View in a loss to Miro. The former NXT Champion then made his WWE return just a few weeks later as an entrant at the Royal Rumble Premium Live Event.
Andrade was shown during a segment recorded before the start of SmackDown that night. He was interviewed by Byron Saxton regarding his show-stealing performance at the Men's Money in the Bank ladder match. They were then abruptly interrupted by Carmelo Hayes, who sat behind them, joining the interview. When Andrade was asked what was next for him, the luchador pointed at Hayes.

Meanwhile, fans took shots at AEW looking at all the empty seats during the segment. They then brought up how this was how the crowd looked like at an episode of Dynamite. This was following the promotion generating lackluster attendances during their shows recently.
"Yo, they doing forbidden door," one fan quipped.
"I thought he went back to dynamite," another replied.
"I was [sic] thought he came back to the bingo halls of AEW," said one.
Others joked about the WWE Superstar having flashbacks, seeing as previously, he had competed in AEW shows, which have a significantly smaller crowd than WWE shows.
"He must be having flashbacks," one claimed.
"PTSD!" another mentioned.
"That’s a sold out crowd too," joked another.
Andrade showed off his battle scars after gruesome Money in the Bank match
This year's edition of Money in the Bank featured several big names in the company, in what some quoted as the most unpredictable match in recent years.
In the end, Drew McIntyre took the win and immediately cashed in his contract the same night. It was only due to CM Punk's interference that his plans were thwarted and he ended up wasting his MITB contract.
One of the participants in the match was Andrade and he showed off a few of his battle scars after taking several bumps including some on top of the steel ladders.
His post showing these can be seen here.
Andrade is the current WWE Speed Champion and should he begin a feud with Carmelo Hayes, the title could be put on the line. Seeing their great performance at Money in the Bank, a great match should surely be in store for the fans.
