📌 **What You’ll Learn**:

For the first time in over two years, Andrade returned to action in AEW on the latest episode of Saturday Night Collision. The former WWE star has now taken to social media and revealed a new name for his current finishing maneuver.

Despite returning to the Tony Khan-led promotion last year for the sixth anniversary edition of AEW Dynamite, Andrade had to disappear from the company’s programming after WWE sent a cease and desist letter to All Elite Wrestling, enforcing a one-year non-compete clause for El Idolo. The former NXT Champion later revealed that he was engaged in talks with the sports entertainment giant to resolve his contract situation, and last December, he was finally able to enter free agency.

Andrade finally returned to AEW programming on the January 7 episode of Wednesday Night Dynamite, where he reunited with his Don Callis Family teammates and helped the latter defeat JetSpeed, Jack Perry, and The Young Bucks. The wrestler wrestled in his first All Elite Wrestling match since Worlds End 2023 this weekend at Collision:maximum Carnage, where he defeated Angelico in a singles match.

After the show, El Idolo took to X/Twitter to give his final gambit — a high, double-hook twisted sweater with a lower neck hook — a new name, apparently asking his followers for suggestions.

It remains to be seen what awaits Andrade next on All Elite TV.
