What now for Andrade?
WWE sources aware of the situation had already predicted Andrade had left the company. It was added that the Mexican Superstar was not involved in any conflicts or conflicts. However, the former NXT Champion was a very unhappy man back on stage.
A Fightful report said Andrade was not expected to be released, and based on the latest update from Dave Meltzer, that’s exactly what has happened behind the scenes.
