    Komander Addresses Having Interest From AEW and WWE

    After Komander made his AEW debut recently, he not only has interest from the promotion, but also from WWE. 

    On the March 1st episode of AEW dynamite, he was part of the Face of the Revolution ladder match. During the bout, he hit a rope walk into a springboard dive to the floor to take out everyone. It’s one of his signature moves. 

    After the match, it was reported that both companies were interested in signing him, something that he is honored to hear. 

    Reaction

    “It’s very humbling to hear that people want to know where I’m going next,” says Komander. “That is a huge honor, to be spoken of in such a manner. I came from nothing. I had absolutely nothing. I did this because it is what I love to do. I understand that my career could be just like my rope walk—it could be a great success, or it could be a failure. No matter what happens, I’m always going to get back up. I never did this for the fame. I do it out of love. Whatever comes next is a blessing,” Komander told Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated.

    Regarding the rope walk, he noted that he’s been doing it since he was 12 and wanted to make it part of the lucha libre.

    Komander most recently worked the  NWA vs. AAA The World Is A Vampire event on March 4th, where he teamed with Octagon Jr to defeat Cyon & Homicide.

    Komander Lands on WWE’s Radar, Update on His AEW Status

    Mexican luchador Komander made his All Elite Wrestling debut on the March 3 episode of Dynamite in the ‘Face of the Revolution’ ladder match.

    Even though he didn’t win the match, his high-flying moves and acrobatics caught the attention of fans. According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Komander’s impressive debut may have put him on the WWE’s radar.

    The report states that Komander is not actually under contract with AEW, but is in contract with a promotion called KAOZ Lucha Libre in Mexico. It is not clear how this would impact his ability to sign with WWE or AEW.

    Komander in High Demand

    However, Dave Meltzer noted that Komander is “very much on WWE radar.” This could potentially lead to a bidding war between the two wrestling giants for the talented luchador.

    It’s also worth noting that Komander wasn’t Tony Khan’s first choice for the ‘Face of the Revolution’ ladder match. According to Meltzer, Khan initially wanted El Hijo Del Vikingo, but he wasn’t available. It’s unclear why Khan opted for the 24-year-old Komander instead of another wrestler, but his decision may have turned out to be a wise one.

    The wrestler formerly worked for AAA, EMLL, Lucha Memes, MDA, Pro Wrestling Mexico, and WAR City. In the match on Dynamite, he went against Eddie Kingston, Konsuke Takeshita, Powerhouse Hobbs, Sammy Guevara, AR Fox, Ortiz, and Action Andretti.

    Komander’s debut was highly impressive, and he was able to showcase his impressive acrobatics and high-flying moves throughout the match. His moveset left the audience in awe, and resulted in the crowd erupting in excitement and chanting “holy sh*t,” a clear indication of his ability to captivate and entertain fans.
