AEW changes Andrade’s name ahead of Revolution 2026
Andrade is set to compete in a major match at AEW Revolution. However, the Jacksonville-based promotion has changed his name just a few days before the show. He is now back to using his old name that he had before he went back to WWE in 2024.
The Former United States Champion used to be have “Cien Almas” in his name during his first run in WWE. However, when he went to All Elite Wrestling he dropped it and started using “El Idolo” with his name instead. Ever since he returned to AEW back in January, he had only been using his first name.
However, AEW recently posted a graphic for Andrade’s upcoming match with Mascara Dorada on this week’s Collision. In the graphic, the promotion brought back the El Idolo name for the Mexican superstar.
“The night before facing @BandidoWrestler at #AEWRevolution, the Idol will clash with one of the most spectacular wrestlers from @CMLL OFICIAL, Golden Mask! Andrade vs Dorada TOMORROW!”

It will be interesting to see if this is a one time thing or the company will keep using this name for the former NXT Champion.
Andrade will face Bandido at AEW Revolution
After Brody King challenged Swerve Strickland to a match at Revolution, his tag team partner Bandido was also looking for a fight. The Most Wanted star’s challenge was accepted by none other than Don Callis Family’s newest member and the former NXT Champion.
In a backstage segment on Dynamite few weeks ago, the two stars had a backstage interaction. Bandido told his opponent about how he grew up watching him. The former NXT Champion belittled his opponent by calling him a fan and tried to assert his dominance.
It will be exciting to see who will leave Los Angeles with the victory. El Idolo has been booked very strongly ever since his AEW return and fans are wondering if his dominance will continue at the event.
