Bandido is officially “All Elite”.
On the November 11 episode of AEW Rampage, Bandido competed in his second match for the company when he faced RUSH in an AEW World Championship Eliminator Match. With some help from John Silver, who evened the playing field when Jose the Assistant tried to interfere, Bandido scored the victory via a roll-up. With the win, he advanced to the next round of the tournament; he will face Ethan Page on the November 16 episode of AEW Dynamite.
AEW president Tony Khan subsequently announced that Bandido has signed with the company.
