With his &#8220;executive consultant,&#8221; Chavo Guerrero Jr., by his side, Andrade has spent the last several weeks taunting The Lucha Brothers, asking them why they &#8220;work for&#8221; PAC, and calling himself the true face of Latino wrestling in AEW.<\/p>\n<p>Things came to a head a few weeks ago on <em>Dynamite<\/em> when PAC laid down the challenge to Andrade for <em>All Out<\/em>. Andrade accepted, and although both men worked for WWE and are former NXT champions, this will be their first-ever one-on-one contest, and it&#8217;s sure to be a great match.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight, however, PAC will be facing against the former Evan Bourne in WWE, Matt Sydal. Sydal is a solid high-flier in his own right, and shouldn&#8217;t be overlooked.
