Bandido vs. Andrade set for AEW Revolution, Brody King issues challenge
For the first time ever, Bandido and Andrade El Idolo will go one-on-one as a challenge was issued and accepted for next month’s AEW Revolution.
After Brody King’s victory over Mark Davis on Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite, he said he wanted a fight at Revolution and called out former AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland as he is after another World title match. Strickland was shown backstage with Prince Nana and didn’t seem receptive to the callout, walking away from a monitor.
Afterward, Bandido said he was looking for a fight too when Andrade El Idolo’s music hit and he came out onto the stage alongside Don Callis. Bandido made the gun gesture with his hand while Andrade reciprocated with his fist gesture, seemingly making the match official.
The two have been on opposite ends of a trios bout in April 2022 but this will be their first-ever singles meeting.
If the Strickland vs. King match happens, it will be their first-ever singles match in AEW and their first one-on-one match since a June 2018 MLW event.
