Andrade On Returning To AEW For Collision: 'What News, I Had No Idea!'

The wrestling world is buzzing about the announcement of AEW's new program "AEW Collision," set to debut on June 17. The announcement also saw some familiar faces return to AEW branding, as names like Thunder Rosa and Miro were mentioned, and Andrade El Idolo, who has not been seen on AEW TV since September 2022. "Órale!" Andrade wrote on Twitter. "what news, I had no idea!!!" While it is possible that Andrade is being facetious about how much he knew, it is also possible that his long hiatus from AEW led to him being out of touch with the recent changes and announcements.

Andrade has been away from the company after having backstage issues with former TNT Champion Sammy Guevara, which resulted in Andrade getting physical with Guevara. Along with the divisive Rosa, it could be construed that AEW is putting the more difficult personalities on a show of their own.

The debut episode is supposed to be titled "The Second Coming," and is likely to include the return of the equally divisive CM Punk, who has not been on AEW programming since he verbally eviscerated his boss and co-workers in a post-All Out tirade and got into a backstage altercation with Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks, all reportedly in sight of AEW's chief legal counsel Megha Parekh. Much like Andrade says he didn't know he would be advertised for "AEW Collision," Warner Bros Discovery executives now say that Punk isn't currently "affiliated" with the AEW program in recent comments to the media.
