Andrade Wins First AEW Match in Two Years After Returning

Andrade is officially back in All Elite Wrestling—and he just picked up his first AEW win in over two years.

On the January 17 episode of AEW Collision: Maximum Carnage, Andrade defeated Angelico in a one-on-one match, marking his first AEW bout since 2023. The victory wasn’t just a comeback—it was a statement from a former WWE star who’s determined to reclaim his spot.

This appearance comes after Andrade’s surprise return on the January 7 episode of AEW Dynamite, where he hit the ring following The Demand’s trios match against The Young Bucks and Jack Perry.

After leaving AEW in 2023, Andrade returned to WWE for a run that ultimately didn’t pan out. He was released in late 2025, making his AEW comeback less than a year after rejoining WWE.

Now back under Tony Khan’s roof, Andrade seems laser-focused and ready to rebuild momentum. His win over Angelico was straightforward but symbolically huge—marking a clean slate after two years away from AEW rings.
