Andrade Returns to AEW and Immediately Targets Kenny Omega

AEW Dynamite’s October 1 anniversary episode in Florida didn’t just deliver a packed card—it delivered a shocking return that flipped the script on everyone watching. After Kenny Omega and Brodido scored a big win over The Young Bucks and Josh Alexander, things erupted into chaos in the post-match segment.

The Young Bucks jumped Kenny Omega immediately after the bell, laying into him before Jack Perry and Luchasaurus stormed down to the ring to make the save. The Human Dinosaur cleared house alongside Perry, but the reunion quickly soured. Omega got into Jack Perry’s face after the assist, and the two exchanged words and shoves in the middle of the ring.

Then the lights went out. When the arena lights came back on, Andrade was standing in the ring. In a shocking moment, he attacked Kenny Omega, leveling him before aligning himself with the Don Callis Family in front of a stunned Florida crowd. This marks Andrade’s first major appearance since his WWE exit and a clear message that he’s taking no time off.

Last month, Andrade confirmed that he was no longer under contract with WWE. While the company never issued a public statement, multiple reports noted that Andrade had been quietly removed from programming weeks earlier. According to Sports Illustrated’s The Takedown, he was even escorted out of a WWE taping due to a backstage issue tied to an alleged unacknowledged suspension.

His final WWE match was at SummerSlam, where he teamed with Rey Fenix in a six-pack TLC match for the Tag Team Championships. His return in AEW, especially as part of Don Callis’ circle, makes it clear that he’s done waiting for permission to take center stage.

Andrade’s sudden arrival not only puts Omega in the crosshairs but also reshapes the power dynamics within AEW. His alliance with Don Callis opens up a brand-new chapter for the faction, one that could immediately elevate Andrade as a top player while creating fresh rivalries for Omega and anyone else standing in their way.

Do you think Andrade siding with the Don Callis Family was the right move for his AEW debut? Who should be his first big feud now that he’s back? Share your thoughts in the comments.
