Are Andrade and Zelina Vega an unstoppable force? WWE seems to think so.
Are Andrade and Zelina Vega an unstoppable force? WWE seems to think so.

For many years, Andrade wrestled under a mask as La Sombre, the Shadow, in his native Mexico for the CMLL promotion. He was a member of Los Ignorables, a feared heel stable.

Then he signed a contract with WWE, and he lost a mask vs mask match to end his Lucha Libre career. But his wrestling career was just getting going.

For a time, Andrade struggled to stand out on NXT. He was obviously a very capable wrestler, and experienced to boot, but once he was paired with Zelina Vega it all clicked for him. Vega is a great advocate, making up for Andrade's lack of charisma on the microphone.

WWE is rumored to be very, very pleased with both of the performers, and now Andrade is on Raw along with many other former NXT wrestlers. This opens up the possibility of feuds that didn't get to happen in NXT, such as Andrade vs. Ricochet.

Look for big things from Andrade, including a possible Universal title run.
