“This Friday, it’s going to be my first time ever at Arena Mexico,” Perry said in a promo. “Debuting at CMLL with my client coming back after eight years.”
Andrade is teaming with Soberano Jr. & Angel de Oro against Mistico, Atlantis Jr. & Star Jr. in a trios match tonight.
Formerly known as La Sombra, Andrade became a star for CMLL early in his career before departing the company to sign with WWE in 2015. He’s been with AEW since 2021.
Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that, from what he understands, Andrade is scheduled to work five dates for CMLL.
Andrade became Perry’s first managerial client in AEW last month. AEW is building toward a feud between Andrade and Perry’s husband Miro.
