The former United States Champion first left the Stamford-based company in 2021 after he requested his release. He then made an emphatic return in January 2024, a month after his exit from AEW. He returned at the 2024 Royal Rumble Premium Live Event, entering the Men's Royal Rumble Match.

The 35-year-old's final match in his second stint took place at the 2025 SummerSlam Premium Live Event. He teamed up with Rey Fenix and competed in a Six-Pack Ladder Match for the Tag Team Championship.

For weeks, Andrade and Fenix had been teaming up and had become a formidable duo on SmackDown. However, El Idolo's departure has seemingly forced Fenix to return to singles action.
