Andrade has been released by WWE (Up. pg 9)

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

There are a lot of rumors swirling around with Andrade that seem to have a lot of traction. The big one being he asked for his release on Monday, and has removed WWE from his Twitter handle. 

Sean Ross Sapp seems to be backing up the validity of the reports

If he's truly done, it's a shame how little he truly did, but also AEW, Japan, or anywhere he ends up, is gonna get a huge talent if he ends up in free agency...

I guess this is ongoing so it'll have to be updated as it continues.

La Sombra would be a huge addition to any roster. Between his relationship with Charlotte and his natural talent, it's baffling his career in WWE was as lackluster as it ended up being.

I think his is a case where it kind of just wasn't meant to be. He's a fantastic talent and the main roster did at least try to push him at points, but it just never clicked.

[Baldobomb-22-OH-MAN!!!]

Can he take Ashley with him?

[Harry The Arrow was Wrong!]

One of the best talents in the company. Crazy how they used him but also not surprising.

[Fade is a CodyCryBaby]

Oooh boy. That’s kind of crazy.

Dude's been tweeting pictures of himself during his tenure for weeks now. It was either he was in line for a push of some kind or waiting for the moment to ask for his release.

Seems like it's the latter.

Yeah, sometimes things just don't work out.

I'll never forget the 2019 Royal Rumble when he came out to absolute crickets and this was when he was being pushed well and in a feud with the newly returned Mysterio. He was getting TV time/wins and Zelina was a great part of his act but for whatever reason it didn't click. It looked like they were re-upping his push in late 2019/early 2020 when he won the US title but less than a month later he got popped for a wellness failure. And it didn't help that upon his return Angel Garza joined his group seemingly as a lackey/pinfall taker and outshined him almost immediately.

I'm very surprised though that his relationship with Charlotte didn't get him at least one more shot/push.

Shoutout to him. We'll see what happens. Great dude. Surely Charlotte is gonna try to use her pull to help but I doubt it'll amount to anything. Maybe Ric can throw in a word or two. Ah well.

[Mayonnaise]

You'd think with his relationship with Charlotte he'd at least have a regular spot on TV, weird how's they were keeping couples together during the last draft but didn't care about the one involving one of their most beloved talents. Maybe the Zelina Vega firing really screwed things up for him. Anyway, if I'm AEW I'm going crazy about this one.

Rumors recently said that they were gonna try to put them together on screen as a pairing. Guess that fell through and he said "alright, I want out." Sad.

I can't wait for Charlotte to let personal frustrations to lead to more awkward performances in the ring.

Yeah, it's weird that they weren't going through with that with their chemistry on social media. They clearly care about each other and would probably make for a good pairing on the show. Weird they didn't go with that.

This is honestly my worry. Having not watched since the Rumble, that performance was still super awkward and I can't imagine things have been much better with this Andrade situation hanging above everything.

[Totorob101]

Good news,he is going to be a huge success elsewhere,WWE had no idea what to do with him and it's obvious they were never going to push him at all.Hopefully Alistair Black, Mia Yim and Ricochet push for their exits in the future too.

I’m with you. It’s not like they didn’t try with Andrade, sometimes it just isn’t meant to be. Where ever he ends up is getting a fantastic talent.

Just another log on the pile of guys that seemed like they could be something but got WWE’d. 🤷🏻‍♂️

El Sombre to New Japan, Tommy End to AEW let's f***ing gooooooooo

[kidkamikaze10]

The E has essentially one last chance to make a Luchador work in their company with Escobar.

If he doesn't work, then Impact, ROH, and AEW would be stupid not to take advantage of their inability.

[Pushed to the Moon]

Is he still on TV? I haven't seen a full ep of Raw and SD for a while so might have missed him but I can't remember seeing him for ages.
