Andrade El Idolo’s time in AEW has been anything but smooth sailing but now the former WWE star looks better than ever ahead of a possible return to the ring.

Andrade El Idolo last competed in an AEW ring at the infamous All Out 2022 show where he was part of the Casino Ladder match which was won by a masked and returning MJF.

While the events of what happened All Out overshadowed the show itself, CM Punk and The Elite were far from the only ones in the company to get involved in backstage issues. El Idolo was sent home from AEW television in October 2022 after a backstage altercation between himself and Sammy Guevara.

In November, the former WWE United States Champion’s continued absence had more light shed on it as it emerged he had undergone surgery for a torn pectoral muscle.

Now taking to social media, Andrade El Idolo appears to be in better shape than ever as he has bulked up to 248lbs:

“248 lb nobody knows!! live in the present because the future is on the way”

There has been no word when Andrade El Idolo is likely to return to AEW. The company is set to embark on an historic second half of 2023 when it is believed a new Saturday night show will begin airing and All In has already sold an incredible 60,000 tickets for Wembley Stadium in August.
