Andrade El Idolo just can’t stay away from the fans at ringside, but this time his usual selfie routine ended with him getting jumped. During the October 24 episode of AEW Collision, Andrade found another woman in the crowd and stopped for a photo before Tommaso Ciampa came crashing into the moment.
The woman was clearly excited when Andrade approached her at ringside. She pulled out her phone and the two started taking a selfie together, continuing the little routine Andrade has been doing at AEW shows lately. This one didn’t get the usual happy ending, though. Ciampa interrupted the selfie by attacking Andrade, immediately turning the ringside interaction back into business between the two wrestlers.
After Collision, the identity of Andrade’s latest selfie partner was revealed. Independent wrestler Leah Night took to her Instagram Story and confirmed that she was the woman sitting at ringside during the segment.
Night isn’t simply a random fan who happened to score a selfie on television either. She has competed across the independent wrestling scene for promotions including Marvelous, SSPW, ASE, TBD and WE Adrenaline, among others.
Andrade has now made these ringside interactions a pretty regular part of his AEW appearances. At WrestleDream, he stopped for a selfie with another woman in the crowd and even kissed her on the cheek before continuing with the show.
That woman was later revealed to be independent wrestler Madisyn Maxxwell, who has worked for promotions including LPW, WOW, CCW and UFW. Just days before that, Andrade pulled a similar move on Dynamite with independent wrestler Kelly Madan.
The routine goes back even further to AEW Grand Slam France, where Andrade approached another woman in the crowd, took a selfie and received a kiss on the cheek. She was later identified as Instagram personality bad.oce, who is known around the French wrestling scene.
Andrade’s ringside selfie streak is clearly becoming a recurring part of his AEW act, but Ciampa finally found a way to ruin the fun this time around. With Leah Night now revealed as the latest woman involved, Andrade has added yet another indie wrestling name to his growing list of ringside encounters.
