AEW wrestler Andrade El Idolo has given a health update after being ambushed by MJF during the promotion's Grand Slam Mexico event, warning fans he could be sidelined for "a few days or weeks." The attack came moments after Andrade secured the number one entry spot in the Casino Gauntlet match to be held at AEW's forthcoming All In pay-per-view, turning what should have been a triumphant moment into a bloody setback ahead of a major show.

MJF, marking his return to AEW programming on Wednesday night, blindsided Andrade and left him bleeding from a head wound, which Andrade later displayed to fans. MJF followed up the assault by announcing he would compete in a qualifying match to claim the second entrant spot in the same Casino Gauntlet bout, setting up further tension between the two ahead of All In.
