Former TNA Star Signs For AEW; Debuts New Name
AEW hosted its first episode of Dynamite of the new year, and it produced an amazing night filled with incredible action and some surprises throughout the night.
The most-talked-about moment from the night saw Andrade El Idolo make his return to the promotion following a lengthy absence and realigned himself with the Don Callis Family.
However, it turned out that he wasn’t the only member being added to the Don Callis-led stable, as another wrestler aligned himself with the group and was later announced as the promotion’s newest star.
