#1. Hope isn't true: Andrade's WWE status

Is Andrade done with WWE?

As first reported by WrestlingInc, Andrade asked for his release from WWE recently. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter confirmed that his request was denied by WWE:

Andrade asked for his WWE release earlier this week, but was denied. Wrestling Inc. was first to report that he asked for his release at the Raw tapings this past Monday with Dave Meltzer confirming both the request and denial.

To add to that, a report from PWInsider revealed that Andrade looked miserable backstage on RAW recently:

A person close to the situation told PWInsider that Andrade looked 'absolutely terrible' this past Monday on RAW.

We hope this isn't true because it's a waste of a superstar like Andrade. He was poised to be WWE's next big Latino superstar, but their treatment of a legend like Rey Mysterio says enough.

As bad as it is, we give Andrade his props for wanting to take a chance outside of WWE. It would be easier to simply collect his paycheck from WWE, but he is young and has bigger ambitions.

We're sure that WWE will eventually release Andrade before his contract runs out. That is, of course, unless they decide to push him.
