Andrade El Idolo has revealed his global title ambitions.
At Forbidden Door, Andrade El Idolo’s tensions with MJF came to a head when Andrade attacked the AEW World Champion and seemingly abandoned the Don Callis Family in the process. His attack led to Mark Briscoe‘s team winning the match and Briscoe securing a World Title match against the Salt of the Earth on the July 1st edition of Dynamite.
Briscoe isn’t the only one with his sights set on MJF‘s gold, as Andrade told Justin Barasso in a new interview on Undisputed that he wants the title too, and promised he would be a fighting champion.
“That thought has occurred to me on many occasions. I’m looking for that championship. God knows I want it.
“MJF, I’m looking for an opportunity. That would be incredible. I’d be a fighting champion and defend it against Will Ospreay. I’d defend it against Kenny Omega. Hopefully it is soon, but I will work for it as long as necessary.”
However, El Idolo’s ambitions don’t end there. When he was asked about the possibility of challenging for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship in NJPW, and whether he might win that before the AEW title, he said he wants to hold both.
“Destiny always changes. I don’t have a specific answer. I will be the champion in New Japan. And the AEW title, that’s my goal.”
Andrade El Idolo Will Wrestle Around The World
Not wanting to limit himself to the US and Japan, Andrade also wants to compete in indie promotions around the world, where he says he will give it his all and can compete against a range of opponents.
“Next year I plan to travel more around the world, especially in Asia and the indies. Indies know I give it my all, no matter the opponent. My style and preparation allow me to wrestle anyone. I’m still young, but I am aware there are younger wrestlers in their 20s. I am 36, but my maximum is different [from everyone else].”
While it is currently unknown if Andrade will get his hands on MJF or an AEW World Title match, he says he has been preparing, and when his opportunity arrives, he “will be ready.”
