4 Reasons why Andrade should win the US Championship in 2019

#1 He is the next big Mexican star

Andrade has all the tools to be WWE's biggest Mexican star.

Andrade has all the tools required of him to become the WWE Champion, but it is still way too soon for him to reach that status. WWE has been organically building up Andrade as soon as he entered Smackdown Live, and that is honestly the best way to build him up as a legitimate threat to the roster.

The fact of the matter is, Andrade is set to be the next big Mexican star that WWE has been desperately searching for. WWE has plenty of Mexican Luchadores such as Kalisto, Sin Cara, Gran Metalik and Lince Dorado. However, they had attempted to push Kalisto and Sin Cara to fill the role that Rey Mysterio once had in the WWE, before Rey made his return. But it hasn't worked out as Kalisto and Sin Cara just haven't connected with the fans on the same level as Rey did.

On the other hand, WWE also had Alberto Del Rio who was on the cusp of also becoming WWE's biggest Mexican star. But unfortunately for Del Rio, they pushed him to the moon and didn't allow him the opportunity to connect with the fans as a heel. His rise was so sudden, and the rumors were that a big push is what Del Rio wanted but it didn't turn out to be a push, as it resulted in Del Rio's downfall instead.

Andrade has everything that the WWE is looking for in terms of a replacement for Rey Mysterio. Mysterio may still be in the WWE, but he is getting older and his career is slowly coming to an end. Andrade is the perfect man to fill in that void when Mysterio leaves the WWE for good.
