Wrestling Inc. the first to report that Andrade had submitted an official request for a WWE message at the latest RAW tapings on March 8th. As would be expected, several details about Andrade ‘s WWE status and future have surfaced over the internet.
PWInsider, a generally trusted source on such issues, independently confirmed the story with several WWE sources. Someone close to the scene told PWInsider that Andrade looked ‘absolutely horrified’ last Monday on RAW.
Various important updates about Andrade’s status have started making the rounds recently. We recently covered a detailed Fightful Select report which will shed more light on the situation.
What went wrong for Andrade in WWE?
WWE Andrade signed in 2015, and from the time of acquisition, the high-profile keeper was expected to be the company’s next big Hispanic star.
The intentions of the promotion to make Andrade a big name were obvious when El Idolo took over the NXT Championship.
To WWE’s credit, the company worked hard to build the alliance between Andrade and Zelina Vega in the black and gold brand. However, they did not reproduce the magic on the main roster.
Andrade got his call-up in 2018 alongside Zelina Vega, and the duo showed a lot of promise in the early days.
El Idolo won the U.S. title along the way, and many thought the former NXT Winner was defending him for pushing down the line. Paul Heyman’s appointment as RAW Executive Director seemed to be a blessing.
Heyman loved the Mexican Superstar and wanted to be a top man on the red brand. It was going well until WWE decided to remove the former ECW chief from the post of RAW Executive Director.
To make matters worse, Vince McMahon reportedly saw little in Andrade. It is also no coincidence that the Superstar was left unconditionally in the WWE 2020 Draft.
Andrade has not been seen on WWE TV since the October 12, 2020 program of RAW. As of this writing, there is no update in which WWE officials will approve Andrade’s request. As always, stay tuned to Sportskeeda Wrestling for more updates.
