Andrade El Idolo is a free agent. The former WWE SmackDown Superstar departed AEW after the Worlds End pay-per-view event. Tony Khan confirmed during the post-show scrum both parties have mutually decided to part ways.
Word on the internet is that the former Andrade “Cien” Almas could be back in WWE after a stint with AEW. The former NXT Champion might return to the blue brand and join forces with a top heel. The superstar in question is none other than Santos Escobar.
It is possible Andrade El Idolo could form an alliance with Santos Escobar’s Legado World Order on WWE SmackDown in the new year. Andrade had a series of fantastic matches against Rey Mysterio during their time together in the Stamford-based promotion.
