#2 Andrade didn't compete for months on WWE TV and was eventually released

Andrade is a former WWE NXT Champion. He had a fine run on the main roster as well. The WWE Universe was hopeful that Andrade would be one of those talents that WWE wouldn't mess up following his move to the main roster.

The biggest feat that Andrade achieved on the main roster was a United States title win over WWE legend Rey Mysterio. Andrade defeated the veteran for the belt at a house show at Madison Square Garden on December 26, 2019.

Andrade's career simply didn't take off following his United States title run. He was a mainstay on WWE TV for almost the entirety of the pandemic era last year and it looked like things were going to get better for him in the near future.

Andrade's final WWE match came on the October 12, 2020 edition of RAW where he faced Angel Garza. Andrade failed to win the match and that was it for the former NXT Champion.

He was taken off TV by WWE, leading to speculation about his status in the company. Andrade later requested his release from WWE, which was initially rejected but was granted later.
