Andrade El Idolo Sets Sights on AEW World Title, Vows to Do Whatever It Takes

Andrade El Idolo has made his ambitions crystal clear: the AEW World Championship is his target, and he’s prepared to put in the work for however long that pursuit demands.

The statement comes off the back of Andrade’s appearance at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, where he competed in a twelve-man steel cage tag team match as a member of Team MJF. It was a high-profile spot on one of AEW’s biggest crossover cards of the year, and Andrade used the moment to reinforce that his eyes are fixed firmly on the top prize in the company.

Since arriving in AEW, Andrade El Idolo has been one of the more naturally gifted in-ring performers on the roster — a former NXT Champion who spent years in WWE before making the jump. He’s shown flashes of main-event potential in AEW, but a consistent push to the top of the card has remained elusive. Comments like these suggest he’s determined to change that narrative.

With Forbidden Door now in the rearview mirror and AEW’s summer schedule heating up, it remains to be seen how quickly Andrade can position himself into the title picture. But if his words carry any weight, he has no intention of settling for anything less than the world title — and he’s willing to grind for it for as long as the journey takes.
