#2. Hope is true: Andrade returning to old ways post-WWE?

Andrade is now done with WWE, and given his age and level of talent, there will likely be a bidding war between some of the world's biggest wrestling promotions. The big question has been what name he will take and whether he will return back to his old masked look.

Andrade wrestled as "La Sombra" throughout his career in CMLL and never unmasked until he lost a match with a stipulation stating that he needed to do so. It was a move made before he jumped ship to WWE.

According to Dave Meltzer of WON, Andrade could be returning to his La Sombra persona - which also means that he could wear his old mask again.

He has trademarked the name La Sombra for the U.S. so it does seem like his goal is to use that name. He can’t work without a mask in CMLL since he lost his mask before he went to WWE, actually because he went to WWE. But Rey Mysterio lost his mask and spent years wrestling without a mask, and then went to WWE and put the mask back on and it was the greatest thing for his career and that could work the same for Andrade."

We hope this is true because it would be good for Andrade to go back to his roots and try to reshape his career again outside of WWE.
