Bengaluru, August 12: Former WWE NXT Champion Andrade El Idolo competed in his debut match against Matt Sydal (fka Evan Bourne in WWE) at AEW Dynamite: Road Rager and since then he has been absent from the AEW competition.
The Mexican superstar's second match for the promotion has now been announced for the All Out pay-per-view scheduled in Chicago, Illinois, next month.
After being challenged on Dynamite, Andrade (with his manager Chavo Guerrero Jr.) agreed to compete against Pac (fka Neville in WWE) for a singles contest at AEW’s next PPV.
The challenge was issued as Andrade and Chavo have consistently tried to convince Death Triangle members Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey Fenix to turn on Pac and rather make an ally with him.
Sounds like @AndradeElIdolo and Chavo Guerrero (@mexwarrior) want to show @BASTARDPAC who the boss is at #AEWAllOut!

Both Pac and Andrade previously worked in WWE, but this upcoming match at All Out will serve as their first-ever one-on-one bout. While this will be the third consecutive PPV appearance for Pac, for Andrade, this will be his second high-profile match-up against a fellow AEW roster member.
It should be noted that he is also scheduled to challenge AEW World Champion Kenny Omega (for Omega’s AAA Mega Championship) at AAA TripleMania XXIX this Saturday evening.
You mess with @tonyschiavone24 and his family, you deal with his #AEWDarkElevation broadcast partner, @PaulWight. #TheFactory found out the hard way.

The time for veteran Paul Wight’s (fka Big Show in WWE) AEW in-ring debut is inching closer. The seven-footer saved AEW Dark: Elevation partner Tony Schiavone and his son Chris from a beatdown by QT Marshall and The Factory during this week’s Dynamite.
Wight would share a staredown with The Factory before planting Solo with a massive Chokeslam. He then had another stare-down with Marshall. The Wight-Marshall match is yet to be announced but it's surely been teased.
.@Sting, you still got it!
