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.

Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
