On Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite, the promotion held a ‘Face Of The Revolution’ ladder match featuring Komander vs. Konosuke Takeshita vs. Ortiz vs. Action Andretti vs. Sammy Guevara vs. Powerhouse Hobbs vs. Eddie Kingston vs. AR Fox.
Although Hobbs came out with the win, it was another name that stood out to fans, and that was Komander.
Komander, who is just 24 years old, has been wrestling for Lucha Libre AAA since 2019 and the KAOZ promotion in Mexico.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that AEW President Tony Khan originally wanted AAA Mega Champion El Hijo del Vikingo to participate in the match, but he wasn’t available, so Khan got Komander instead.
Komander is not under contract with AEW. However, he did get the attention of WWE.
Meltzer wrote, “Komander, who debuted on Dynamite in the ladder match with no buildup at all, was not under contract when put on the show and is very much on WWE radar.”
Meltzer added that Komander is currently under contract with the KAOZ promotion in Mexico, although it’s unclear what the deal is, whether that be on a full-time or per-show basis.
