Massive betrayal involving former WWE star ensued after Kenny Omega's in-ring return on AEW Dynamite
A shocking betrayal featuring former WWE star Andrade El Idolo happened following Kenny Omega's triumphant in-ring comeback earlier on AEW Dynamite, where El Idolo turned on Dragon Lee.
Earlier in the main event, The Cleaner was revealed as the mystery partner of The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) and he came out with a massive pop from the Charleston, West Virginia faithful.
This was for the quarterfinal round of the AEW World Trios Championship tournament pitting him and the Bucks against Andrade, Rush and Dragon Lee (La Faccion Ingobernable).
Despite not being fully healthy, Omega showed no ring rust as he dropped an elbow on Dragon Lee. He also delivered some massive right-hand shots to the masked superstar while on the top turnbuckle.

Andrade hit a standing moonsault from off the top to The Best Bout Machine, only for a near-fall. The La Faccion Ingobernable's efforts weren't enough as Kenny Omega executed his V-Trigger and One-Winged Angel to Lee for a successful in-ring return.
But tensions ensued over at Andrade's faction as he and Rush turned on Dragon Lee. The former WWE star put the masked superstar in a DDT. Lee's mask got ripped off as the show closed.
