Stamford, December 7 - Andrade El Idolo, formerly known as Andrade "Cien" Almas during his time in WWE, might be making a return to the company after his current contract with AEW expires, with a stint in CMLL in between.

Having sought and received his release from WWE in March 2021, Andrade made his AEW debut in June of the same year. Recently featured in the Continental Classic, indications suggest that his tenure in AEW could be coming to a conclusion. Discussing Andrade's future in AEW, Dave Meltzer shared insights on Wrestling Observer Radio, shedding light on the uncertainties surrounding Andrade's next career move.



Reports suggest that Andrade is considering a return to CMLL, where he initially began his wrestling journey. While there's no official confirmation of the exact week of his potential return, a tease during a recent Friday night's Arena Mexico show has fueled speculation.

In discussions about his future, it was revealed that Andrade had explored the possibility of returning to AAA (Asistencia Asesoría y Administración), but ultimately opted for CMLL. Despite the significant crowds drawn by CMLL events, the promotion is not known for substantial financial compensation, and Andrade, who commands high appearance fees in Mexico, seems motivated by personal sentiment.

Dave Meltzer shared insights on Wrestling Observer Radio, stating, "I think he just wanted to do it because that’s where he started. Because there’s no real money, even though CMLL’s drawing big crowds, there’s no real money being paid by CMLL. And Andrade actually charges a lot for his appearances in Mexico, so I think it’s just something that he wants to do."



Andrade's AEW contract is reportedly set to expire soon unless there are extensions due to factors like time off for injuries. The uncertainty surrounding his contract status adds an intriguing layer to his career trajectory. Meltzer indicated, "His deal is coming up relatively soon unless it’s extended or something because of time off for injuries or whatever, but he thinks that his deal’s up pretty soon. So he wanted to go back (to CMLL) in case he ends up going to WWE."

As of now, Andrade has not committed to any specific decision regarding his future, and there is no confirmation of a new contract signing. The possibility of a return to WWE is on the table, but it comes with the awareness that certain options, such as a return to Arena Mexico, might be off the table if he chooses that path.
