Bandido impressed fans throughout his career, and it’s one of the reasons why AEW had him compete against Chris Jericho on Dynamite earlier this month.
Bandido’s contract status after that was always a topic of discussion, but now it seems he is “in” with AEW. However, according to Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, it has not been confirmed if Bandido has signed a contract with AEW yet.
PWInsider reported the signings of Juice Robinson and Bandido. AEW hadn’t confirmed either signing but they never confirm them until they release it themselves. But as a general rule they are pretty quick to release it themselves, especially with Bandido that I’d think they’d do it if pen was put to paper.
The only thing I was told regarding Bandido is that he had verbally agreed to terms and everyone was going with the idea he was coming in, but nobody could confirm if he’s put actual pen to paper. But we’ve basically been told he’s considered in. He was doing shows in Europe this week and beat Senza Volto to win the title for Belgium’s BodyZol promotion, which would indicate he’s planning on returning there

We will have to wait and see when the Mexican star will make his return to AEW television.
