Idk why I’m glad to see Andrade back. There’s something about fighting Sammy to try and get fired, having rippers in the C2, peacing out for WWE, then just being like “ok I don’t want to be in WWE anymore” it’s just fucking hilarious.

If he's gonna play ball this time I'm not gonna complain as he's good when he wants to be.

So much for the higher standards for free agents that Bruv was talking about a few months back. Re-hired the guy who has caused backstage problems in both AEW and WWE lol. The fact he immediately became the 38th member of the Don Callis Family pretty much sums up Andrade's potential.

I can’t believe you didn’t reply with something positive.

I am shook Hot Dog 🌭


Why would I be positive about a jabroni I've been ridiculing since the day he first got called up from NXT? I LOL'd when WWE rehired him too.


Andrade here to bore us on Monday nights.

We can now change it to "Wednesday nights."

Andrade has been pretty useless in both companies but AEW can play to his strengths a little more, plus he seems to be getting a feud with Kenny right off the bat, with a red for more Upper Card level heels, Andrade came at the right time. Let’s just hope it works this time

I mean AEW barely signed anybody this year and if I’m not mistaken he’s the first released WWE guy they’ve signed this year and we are in October. I do agree that they should’ve let him go to NJPW/CMLL first before just bringing him in but if he made things right before he left then I can’t be mad.

I've always loved Andrade so I'm just happy that I can still watch him on TV. Hopefully he has a better run this time!

I saw it live and was like WTF. How long before he's gone from there again?

Was it 90 days already? Wow.

Andrade never left AEW on bad terms, which is why he's back so soon, he had some issues with Sammy but I guess those were ironed out. I read somewhere that he partially went back to WWE to try and fix his marriage with Charlotte, which obviously didn't work out. Andrade's prior run in AEW was fine, he's great in the ring, he only needed a mouthpiece. Andrade has had a lot of bangers in AEW. He's a great mid-card guy when used to his strengths. He's not back to get a main event push, and this just bolsters the already stacked roster despite him being un-needed. I prefer Andrade over Orange Cassidy, Garcia, or Wheeler Yuta.

In WWE, I was actually surprised they didn't put him back with Zelina Vega, both were floundering anyway. He wrestled Melo for like 10 weeks straight then they threw him in a team with Fenix like they were replacing Penta in the Lucha Bros or something. That's why he failed, not because he's not talented. Don Callis is a good mouthpiece for him, but at some point we need to develop some overarching storytelling with the family. Its more like an army now as said last night.

What does Callis have on all these guys? Is he assembling this army for any kind of purpose? What benefits can we visually see them getting besides winning championships? Because in kayfabe, aligning with Callis does mean you're being elevated if you're one of the members who matter (not Archer or Romero obviously). Okada, Omega, Takeshita, Fletcher, and Ospreay all elevated through being with the heat magnet Callis, Hechicero gets a lot more TV time too, and they have all mostly found kayfabe success, so Callis is actually a manager who does his job, its just that we need more segments to show the family dynamics. Wardlow definitely would have been in a better spot if he didn't injure himself again. I can see the same happening with Andrade, just in the mid-card. Takeshita will be leaving the group soon anyway.

Can’t stand him. He's always came across like he feels he should be a top guy, doesn’t have a good look and can’t speak English. May have had more success if he had kept the mask on.

I doubt he will do much in AEW with such a stacked roster
