El Clon debuts on AEW Dynamite, immediately aligns with faction
The Don Callis Family added Andrade El Idolo during Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite and then followed up by adding the mysterious El Clon shortly thereafter.
Clon made his in-person debut during the TNT title match between Kyle Fletcher and Orange Cassidy, initially disguised as his rival Hologram (seen above).
After the referee was taken out by Fletcher, Cassidy was distracted by Callis which brought out the disguised Clon to run him off. He then crotched Cassidy on the ropes, giving Fletcher a window to hit his top rope brainbuster for the win.
After the entire Callis Family attacked Cassidy, Mark Briscoe, Roderick Strong and Kyle O’Reilly (who had come out to try to help), the lights flickered and Clon removed his Hologram mask and jacket to reveal he was not Hologram.
The former Arez, the Clon character debuted via vignettes in late-August, causing Hologram to act like he was glitching out. After being taken out backstage by a Fletcher attack last week, Tony Khan announced it was expected Hologram will miss the rest of the year with an injury which Dave Meltzer said is a re-aggravation of a previous knee injury.
