Andrade Says He Will Win Every AEW Title After National Loss
Summary: Andrade El Idolo wrote on X on Nov. 8 that it is time for him to win every AEW championship, a day after Tommaso Ciampa took the National Championship from him. Cageside Seats reports a second post saying he now focuses on the AEW World Championship.
The quick version
- Andrade wrote to Ciampa: "It is time for me to win every AEW championship, I will be the new collector." We read that post on X.
- A second post, as Cageside Seats reports it, backs his United Empire teammate Mike Bailey and says he will "focus 100% on the AEW World Championship."
- Ciampa defends the National Championship against Bailey on Wednesday, Nov. 11. AEW has not said whether Andrade gets a rematch.
Andrade El Idolo says he is not done with AEW gold. A day after he lost the AEW National Championship to Tommaso Ciampa on Collision on Saturday, Nov. 7, Andrade posted a reply to Ciampa on X. Cageside Seats reported it on Nov. 8.
What he wrote
Andrade pointed to the support of fans over the past year. "The fans have supported me, they believed in me when I needed them most," he wrote, adding "I will not let them down." Then he answered Ciampa's claim to be "the new belt collector": "It is time for me to win every AEW championship, I will be the new collector."
Ciampa used that phrase in a video AEW posted after the match, where he also named the belt "Ruby." See our story on the video.
The second post
Cageside Seats says Andrade also replied to Bailey, his United Empire teammate, who challenged Ciampa for the title. Cageside quotes Andrade as saying he respects Bailey's decision, that he will "focus 100% on the AEW World Championship," and that "one of my goals is to become a double champion." We did not open that second post.
Cageside also says Andrade still holds his Casino Gauntlet contract for a world title shot. We have not seen AEW confirm what that contract allows or when it expires.
What is next
AEW has made Ciampa vs. Bailey official for Wednesday, Nov. 11, in West Valley City, Utah. See our card story. We found no AEW announcement of a rematch for Andrade, and no AEW comment on his posts.
