Andrade El Idolo just backed up his AEW loyalty with championship gold—this time on the global stage as he’s now the new GWF World Champion.

On February 7, 2026, Andrade headlined GWF Global Warning in Berlin, where he faced off against reigning champion Rambo for the GWF World Championship. The match delivered on all fronts: great pacing, hard-hitting counters, and multiple interferences that threatened to derail Andrade’s momentum. But in the end, El Idolo stood tall.

Despite being outnumbered and attacked mid-match, Andrade dug deep, shook off the distractions, and hit his signature finisher to put Rambo away and capture the GWF World Title. The Berlin crowd exploded as Andrade held the belt high—marking a major milestone in his post-WWE career.

This win comes on the heels of Andrade’s renewed commitment to his AEW run. Just days earlier, a fan on social media joked about how often he’s returned to TV. Andrade didn’t laugh it off—instead, he dropped a serious and heartfelt response:

“I would like to retire here! I’m not kidding. I’m here to contribute to the company, and I’m here to become one of the greats of AEW.”

After returning to AEW in October 2025 and taking time off due to lingering non-compete complications, Andrade came back strong in January. And now, with championship gold around his waist, he’s proving his run is no longer about potential—it’s about legacy.

Is Andrade finally hitting the stride fans have waited years to see—or is this just the beginning of his AEW redemption story? Sound off in the comments below.
