Andrade El Idolo addresses WWE wrestler using his signature move
Andrade El Idolo addressed the social media backlash around Kendal Grey with more than a one-word response.
On the March 24 edition of NXT, Grey and Wren Sinclair teamed against Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid. In the bout, Grey launched a blocked kick-spinning elbow on her opponent which fans immediately linked to Andrade. They considered it a tribute given how he uses the move in the ring. When the clip from the match went viral on social media with fans labeling it as a tribute to the AEW star he responded ‘Who?’.
Fans called him out citing Grey’s impressive rise on NXT and Evolve makes her a recognizable talent by now. Later, Andrade posted on X that he was actually unaware about Grey’s performances and dubbed her a future star in the industry.
“Hahaha! I asked who she was because, honestly, I didn’t know—but now I do, and it’s thanks to you guys! (laughter emoji) She definitely has a future in this business. Good luck!” tweeted Andrade.

Grey signed with WWE in 2023 through the NIL (Next in Line) program. She actively competes on Evolve as well as NXT. Last year in September Grey became the Evolve Women’s Champion. She relinquished the title earlier this month to kickstart her official NXT run.
Meanwhile, Andrade’s quest to become AEW World Champion after his return in January diverted into a rivalry with Bandido, who he defeated at Revolution.
