Andrade made a statement on Saturday in Mexico City, standing as Kenny Omega’s equal in their mega championship match at AAA’s Triplemanía.
Their highly contested affair featured a rare in-ring cameo by Ric Flair, who is the father of Andrade’s fiancé, Charlotte Flair. It also stood as a moment when Andrade staked his claim as one of the world’s elite wrestlers, showcasing his value in the ring against Omega.
“For a long time, I did not feel like myself in the ring,” Andrade says. “I never lost the passion, and I am very proud of matches over the past few years with people like Rey Mysterio, Johnny Gargano, AJ Styles, Daniel Bryan, Drew McIntyre.
