Andrade has been successful throughout his WWE career which comes as no surprise since the third-generation star was introduced to the business at a young age which meant that he made his official debut before his 14th Birthday.

The former NXT Champion competed in a number of promotions all over the world before he was signed by WWE back in 2015 and a spotlight was finally shone on the man known as La Sombra.

Andrade is another star who is a third-generation wrestler, given the fact that his grandfather José Andrade wrestled under the "El Moro" ring name and his father was known as "Brilliante." Andrade's uncles and cousins are also wrestlers and whilst he was growing up many of his family members helped with running the local Lucha Libre promotion in Durango which is why Andrade was able to enter the business at such a young age.

He made his debut on October 3rd, 2003 which was just a month before he turned 14, now at 30 years old, Andrade is already a veteran with almost two decades of in-ring experience.
