AEW Dynamite celebrated its sixth anniversary with an unexpected twist as Andrade made a sudden return and launched a shocking attack on Kenny Omega, officially aligning himself with the Don Callis Family. The event took place in Florida and immediately changed the landscape of AEW’s roster, with Andrade becoming a new and impactful presence.
Match Highlights and Post-Match Chaos
The main event spotlighted Kenny Omega teaming with AEW World Tag Team Champions Brodido against The Young Bucks and Josh Alexander. Omega’s team secured the victory, but the celebrations quickly turned chaotic when The Young Bucks attacked Omega after the match. Jack Perry and Luchasaurus, recently reunited allies, rushed to the ring to support Omega, but tensions escalated between Omega and Perry, resulting in a brief confrontation. At that moment, the arena lights suddenly dimmed, signaling a major disruption.
Andrade’s Return and New Alliance with the Don Callis Family
When the lights came back on, Andrade was in the ring and immediately struck Kenny Omega, signaling his return to AEW and his new partnership with Don Callis and his faction. This moment stunned the crowd and closed the show on a tense note, shaking the AEW community and fans present at the event.
Background on Andrade’s Departure from WWE
Andrade’s surprising comeback comes just weeks after his exit from WWE in September. Although WWE made no official comments, reports from Sports Illustrated’s The Takedown revealed that Andrade had been quietly removed from WWE programming before his contract ended and was escorted out of a taping following a backstage incident linked to a possible suspension. His final WWE appearance was at SummerSlam, where he participated in a high-stakes six-pack TLC match for the Tag Team Championships alongside Rey Fenix.
The Significance of Andrade Joining the Don Callis Family in AEW
Joining forces with the Don Callis Family, which already includes Konosuke Takeshita and Kyle Fletcher, Andrade instantly emerges as a key figure in AEW’s developing narrative. With WrestleDream approaching, this alliance is expected to generate significant storylines as Andrade works to establish his new role within the promotion. The Florida audience was left in disbelief as this dramatic development unfolded, promising high tension and unpredictability in upcoming AEW events.
