** The interview was filmed prior to Bandido signing with AEW **
Not currently, but at some point, Bandido would like to make that career move.
Bandido’s career is one that has taken him through a multitude of independent promotions in the U.S., Mexico and Europe. He’s competed for New Japan Pro-Wrestling, IMPACT Wrestling, AAA, CMLL, Ring of Honor and is currently signed to All Elite Wrestling.
At some point, Bandido would like to go to WWE and he expressed that during his sit-down conversation with SO CATCH by Hal 2. He recalled being invited to the Performance Center in Orlando and the company giving him a Camaro to get himself around.
At some point, I’d like to go to WWE. Not in this moment but I hope after, later. I was in WWE. They invited me to the Performance Center. They give me a Camaro for all my week to drive. That was amazing. I made good amigos. Chris Hero, I saw him in the Performance Center and now he’s really, really good to have friend. I love you amigo… He’s very nice, he’s very nice.
This past September, Bandido made his AEW in-ring debut when he took on Chris Jericho with the ROH World Championship on the line. He was contacted for that appearance several days prior.
I have bruises so he (Chris Jericho) broke my mouth and he kick very strong, my nose and I think that is a very important and fantastic night for me. AEW is like a dream to me, to my life. When I took a match against Chris Jericho, that was fantastic. Fantastic match, fantastic night, everything was amazing. I really, really enjoy.
Yeah (I was contacted for it several days before). I was landing in Denver Sunday, the morning and they called me, ‘Hey, you can come to AEW.’ ‘Okay, yeah, I wanna do it. That’s perfect. See you on Wednesday’ and it’s oh, okay… Easy deal. Thank you very much. Thank you Mr. Tony (Khan).
Bandido was last in action for AEW on the January 18th episode of Dynamite when he went one-on-one with Bryan Danielson.
