Arguably one of the most gifted Superstars on SmackDown Live, it is a surprise to many why Andrade hasn't already received a shot at the WWE Championship. After all, El Idolo knows what it takes to win a top prize in the company. He had captured the NXT Championship at NXT TakeOver: War Games in November 2017 and held the title for 140 days after which he lost the gold to Aleister Black at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans.

Since being called up to the main roster, Andrade has been impressive against several high-profile opponents, such as Rusev, Rey Mysterio and Finn Balor, the latter of whom he fought in his demon persona. With these big matches under his belt, Andrade challenging for the WWE Championship could be an interesting story for both him and Kofi Kingston for the next few months.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

Though he held championship gold in NXT, Andrade is yet to hold a title on the main roster since his call-up over a year ago. This could all change if WWE are ready to pull the trigger on Andrade, who at 29, still has plenty of years left in his career.
