AEW Name Believes Loss Of Andrade El Idolo Is Unfortunate

AEW

AEW commentator and WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross believes the loss of Andrade El Idolo is unfortunate following Worlds End.

At AEW Worlds End, Miro defeated Andrade El Idolo. The bout marked the final bout for Andrade under his current AEW deal that expired at the end of 2023.

Tony Khan confirmed this news during the Worlds End post-show media scrum.

His departure has led to rumors and reports indicating that the former United States Champion may be on his way back to WWE.

Speaking on Grilling JR, Jim Ross shared his thoughts on the departure of Andrade El Idolo from AEW. He said:

“We haven’t seen his ceiling yet, in my opinion. The guy’s really good, and losing him is unfortunate for AEW because he always gave quality work. A very skilled guy.”

“If I was guessing, and that’s something we’re doing here because I don’t have any clue as to what his future holds, I’d say it’s WWE.”

“They’re always looking for quality talents, Andrade is a quality talent and certainly has earned his opportunities to move up the cards, whatever company he’s working with.”

“He’s a main-event skillset guy, no matter what. But if I were a betting man, I would certainly lean toward Andrade to be a WWE guy sooner than later.”

“They’re doing a lot of nice things with their Latin athletes. He fits the bill there very well.”

“I’m a fan of his work, and I’m sorry to see him leave, but he fulfilled all his obligations and did a hell of a job for us. He’s a keeper, no doubt about it.”

JR continued on to comment on Andrade’s possible return to WWE, saying:

“So I’m thinking if WWE, like they have been, that’s a layup, I think. It’s just really good in that regard.”

“So we’ll see how it works out. Quality talents always rise to the top. If you’re good enough, you’re gonna get noticed in the right way, and I think Andrade used AEW to get notice and to continue to develop his work.”

“So I’m happy for him and Charlotte. Maybe they’re gonna be able to spend some additional time together because of her injury.”

“So good for him. He’s a good guy, he’s a classy guy. Good worker, and I’m glad that he was here for a while. He helped the company, and that’s what you’re looking for,”
