Article Summary

  • Andrade El Idolo returns at WWE Royal Rumble 2024 as the fourth entrant.
  • The Men's Royal Rumble follows an action-packed Women's match.
  • Andrade's WWE comeback thrilled fans following his AEW departure.
  • Unexpected events unfolded with The Usos and Grayson Waller at the event.

After a not-so-friendly reunion between Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso – and Grayson Waller getting the live edition of his talk show abruptly ended by a super kick, the fourth entrant was revealed – and that wrestler was none other than the returning Andrade (Andrade El Idolo) – and he made his entrance in pretty grand style. Andrade has had a rollercoaster relationship with the WWE, requesting his release from the company back in March 2021 – a release that would eventually be granted. Before long, Andrade would join Tony Khan's AEW – a run that would last until December 2023. After rumblings grew that he wouldn't return to the company after reportedly growing dissatisfied with his time there, Andrade would have his final match during the AEW Worlds End event against Miro – losing the match after C.J. Perry (Miro's wife and Andrade's manager) turned on him.
