Jim Ross firmly believes released AEW star is joining WWE

A recently released AEW star could be headed back to the WWE according to legendary commentator Jim Ross.

The star in question is none other than Andrade El Idolo who was revealed to be leaving the Jacksonville-based promotion on January 1st by Tony Khan at the Worlds End media scrum. Andrade debuted in the company on June 4, 2021, and had matches against top stars like Kenny Omega, but never seemed to be fully utilized in television.

Speaking on Grilling JR, Jim Ross praised Andrade and stated that we could see him back in the WWE soon:

"We haven’t seen his ceiling yet, in my opinion. The guy’s really good, and losing him is unfortunate for AEW because he always gave quality work.... But if I were a betting man, I would certainly lean toward Andrade to be a WWE guy sooner than later. They’re doing a lot of nice things with their Latin athletes. He fits the bill there very well."

JR continued:

"I’m a fan of his work, and I’m sorry to see him leave, but he fulfilled all his obligations and did a hell of a job for us. He’s a keeper, no doubt about it. So I’m thinking if WWE, like they have been, that’s a layup, I think... He’s a good guy, he’s a classy guy. Good worker, and I’m glad that he was here for a while. He helped the company, and that’s what you’re looking for," H/T:[Fightful]
