Not only did last night's Dynamite see the AEW return of Andrade El Idolo, but it also gave fans the debut of El Clon, the evil clone of Hologram. And much like El Idlo, El Clon has also been revealed to be a part of the Don Callis Family.

El Clon's arrival came during the Kyle Fletcher vs. Orange Cassidy match, where the Protostar put his TNT Title on the line. With Callis running interference on the ring apron as Fletcher was down, 'Hologram' came to the ring to put a stop to Don. However, Hologram would crotch Freshley Squeezed on the top rope, allowing Kyle to hit a second-rope brainbuster for the 1-2-3.

With the Callis Family standing on the stage to celebrate Kyle Fletcher's win - complete with Andrade El Idolo, too - Hologram removed his Hologram mask and jacket to reveal that this was actually El Clon, Hologram's evil clone who's been teased in vignettes over the past several weeks.

For those wondering, El Clon is played by Arez, best known for his time in AAA and for appearances with the likes of GCW, TNA, and MLW.

As for Hologram, the real Hologram, as confirmed by Tony Khan last month, is due to be out of action for the rest of the year with what is believed to be a knee issue. This is the same knee that kept him on the shelf between October 2024 and this February.

Including Callis himself, the additions of El Clon and Andrade El Idolo now mean that the Don Callis Family stands at a mammoth 14 members, with Kyle Fletcher, Kazuchika Okada, Konosuke Takeshita, Josh Alexander, Wardlow, Lance Archer, Hechicero, Rocky Romero, Mark Davis, Brian Cage, and Trent Barretta all official members of the faction.
