Wrestling Inc. he was the first to report that Andrade had submitted an official application for a WWE release on the most recent March 8 RAW recordings. As expected, several details about the state of the WWE and the immediate future of Andrade have flooded the Internet.
PWInsider, a source who normally relies on these issues, confirmed the story independently with several WWE sources. A person close to the situation told PWInsider that Andrade looked “absolutely terrible” this past Monday on RAW.
Recently, several important updates have been made on the status of Andrade. We recently discussed a detailed Fightful Select report that provides more clarity on the situation.
What did Andrade miss in the WWE?
WWE signed Andrade in 2015 and, from the outset, it was predicted that the fighter with a very good score would be the company’s next big Hispanic star.
The promotion’s intentions to turn Andrade into a massive name became apparent when El Idolo reigned in the NXT Championship.
To WWE’s credit, the company did a solid job of building the alliance between Andrade and Zelina Vega in the black and gold brand. However, they were unable to reproduce the magic on the main list.
Andrade received his call in 2018 along with Zelina Vega, and the duo showed many promises during the early days.
The Idolo won the American title along the way and many believed the former NXT champion was being protected by a push to the line. The appointment of Paul Heyman as executive director of RAW also seemed like a blessing.
Heyman liked the Mexican superstar and wanted him to be a red mark guy. Everything went well until WWE decided to expel the former ECW chief from the role of RAW executive director.
To make matters worse, Vince McMahon apparently didn’t see much of Andrade. Nor is it a coincidence that the Superstar was left unwritten in the 2020 WWE draft.
Andrade has not been seen on WWE TV since the October 12, 2020 episode of RAW. As of this writing, there are no updates on whether WWE officials will approve Andrade’s request. As always, stay tuned to Sportskeeda Wrestling for more updates.
