... So why didn't he lose the belt? Would YOU want the US Championship? It's a cool looking belt. Granted, I preferred WCW's version of the United States Championship, but this is a close second. |

Let’s take the topic away from Charlotte and back on Andrade. This is about Andrade, but also tangently Charlotte too. I think that if it was just something as simple as a late reported prescription, WWE would be willing to let it slide because of Charlotte. If they are as high on Andrade as it seems, him getting suspended makes him look bad. I think they'd avoid it at all costs unless they just didn't have a choice so I don't think it was just over some mix up. |

Probably weed, no choice but to boot him when the test came back positive but didn’t upset/concern them enough to alter long term booking plans (we can gather they intend him to have the title for a while from him retaining despite this).

Testing positive for weed doesn't get you suspended. Just a fine and I don't even know if they do that anymore. |

I love tournaments and I think a #1 contender's tournament with the winner getting a shot at WM is the way to go.
Black
Humberto
Ricochet
Montez (FFS, let's do something with him)
Rusev
Shelton
Tozawa
Lashley

Can we see Humberto just beating ass until Andrade returns? Man's got that edge to him now.
Humberto's the new Green Ranger in this shit. Just let him be that dude who's a good guy but you know he can turn that on when he needs to.

What is Zelina going to do now? Jobber duty on Raw putting other women over?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but none of us have ANY idea what substance he was suspended for.
The speculation about the drugs, the out of nowhere Charlotte crap... This thread is wild, and not good wild, more like 'some of you need to take a look at yourselves' wild.

It should be stated that if a prescription drug is found in your system and you are too late in giving the information WWE requests about it, that counts the same as testing positive for a completely banned substance. I'm pretty sure that's standard everywhere. Like if you're late for a test by even a minute, it's an automatic fail. You got to get that paperwork in ahead of time, this way it's already in the system and flagged that it will show up, and it's fine. |

Does anyone find it weird that there's been like no social media interaction between Andrade and Charlotte? I caught some of the Superbowl stuff late last week and she wasn't even wearing her engagement ring so who the hell knows what's going on. It's just a really weird vibe all around.

Hope he isn't becoming the next Del Rio This seems inadvertently racist. There have been plenty of top stars with suspensions who aren't Hispanic. Why not hope he's not the next RVD? Besides, it's one suspension. Guys like Edge and Titus O'Neill have been suspended once in the past, and I'd hardly describe them as problematic. |

I'm guessing that the 24/7 title is now the INTERIM US Title while Andrade is suspended

Besides, it's one suspension. Guys like Edge and Titus O'Neill have been suspended once in the past, and I'd hardly describe them as problematic. There are many similarities between the booking of Andrade and Del Rio. Both have been pushed super hard out the gate, the commentators frequently stating that they have never seen Andrade this aggressive before, much like Del Rio, the use of the armbar on the ropes to the near full five count, the manager being more over than the client. Hell I'm rooting for Andrade and hope he actually gets a chance on the main roster to succeed and move beyond feuding with Humberto and Rey. |
