This must end soon.

The AHFO idea was flawed from the start, largely because it was never going to do much for Andrade El Idolo. Plus, he kinda fades into the background whenever Matt Hardy and Private Party are around, which sucks. AEW need to do everything in their power to change that as soon as possible.

El Idolo's alliance with Matt is on thin ice after recent events anyway. Hardy f*cked the handsome devil over on Rampage (they've still to really put a bow on that plot point), and then the AHFO lost a six-man brawl to Sting, Darby Allin and Sammy Guevara at Revolution.

Andrade has to ditch the troops and fly solo again.

All Elite would do well to lean on El Idolo's in-ring skills a bit more. That aforementioned three-way on Rampage proved it's the way to go - the guy is sh*tting awesome bell-to-bell, and he doesn't need to keep chumming around with Matt.
