An AEW wrestler has emerged as a reliable ally to WWE‘s celebrated tag team figures, Jimmy and Jey Uso. The Usos, who currently hold the WWE RAW World Tag Team Championship, remain among the most successful members of The Bloodline, a faction deeply linked to the Samoan wrestling legacy. Despite The Bloodline expanding its roster in 2024 to include non-Anoa’i family wrestlers, Zilla Fatu stands out as a genuine member of this influential clan.
At the House of Glory (HOG) No Turning Back event in New York City on February 20, Zilla Fatu faced AEW World Champion MJF but fell short. Nevertheless, the event was notably marked by prominent interference from AEW’s Andrade, stirring considerable discussion among fans and insiders.
Andrade Justifies His Disruption Against MJF as Support for the Usos
During the intense confrontation, Andrade’s unexpected interference altered the match’s flow. When the AEW World Championship accidentally came into his possession, Andrade handed it to Fatu, who then struck MJF with the belt while the referee remained incapacitated. This strategic move gave Fatu a momentary advantage, although it ultimately did not secure victory.
Following the match, Andrade took to X (formerly Twitter) to make his stance clear, dedicating his actions to Jimmy and Jey Uso. He expressed his loyalty to the Usos while targeting AEW’s top star MJF, who had previously disrespected Jey Uso by mocking a signature move attributed to the Usos known as YEET. This interaction highlighted the cross-promotional tensions and alliances unfolding behind the scenes.
No today MJF! Nice to meet you @Zillafatu. This is for mis carnales Jimmy and Yeet! Chicos y Chicas!! Remember where my eyes are ON THE AEW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP,” wrote Andrade.
MJF’s Response and Andrade’s Message to AEW Locker Room
Despite the disruption, MJF successfully retained his AEW World Championship against Fatu. MJF expressed his frustration with Andrade’s interference during AEW Collision, confronting El Idolo and demonstrating clear anger over the uninvited intrusion. Andrade, however, advised the champion that his position at the top guarantees that he will face constant challenges.
On social media, Andrade also addressed rumors regarding his backstage behavior. Having a history of turbulent exits from both AEW and WWE due to perceived difficulties working with others, he emphasized his commitment to not being a negative presence behind the scenes. Nonetheless, Andrade did not shy away from criticizing MJF’s attitude, suggesting the champion’s ego requires tempering.
I said I wouldn’t be a cancer in the looker room or fight backstage pero a este cabron thinks he owns the company!!! 😒,” Andrade wrote.
Implications for Andrade’s Career and Future in AEW
Andrade’s recent actions represent a promising shift from his previous controversial WWE tenure. By aligning himself with respected figures like the Usos and positioning as a contender for AEW’s top title, he gains valuable momentum. Under Tony Khan’s leadership, Andrade’s pursuit of the AEW World Championship signals a significant opportunity to redefine his wrestling career.
As tensions escalate between leading figures across WWE and AEW, the alliance between Jey Uso and Andrade adds an unexpected dimension to the professional wrestling landscape. Fans and analysts will closely monitor how these relationships develop and whether further cross-promotional confrontations will emerge in upcoming events.
