Andrade El Idolo had a world of momentum behind him after deuting in AEW back in 2021. A series of injuries marred his run and he was placed on the shelf for a long time. Now he came back during Collision and it appears Idolo used a move he claimed he couldn’t anymore.

The Mexican star finally returned on the debut episode of AEW Collision and squared off against Buddy Matthews in a thrilling contest. This was a rematch from their time in WWE and fans were not disappointed.

As pointed out by a fan, Andrade El Idolo hit a spinning elbow move during his match with Matthews. Idolo himself claimed in the past that he could no longer perform that move, which is why it was a surprise when he used it last night.

Looks like Andrade can use this move again #AEWcollision
