#3 Flop – Andrade

There is no denying that Andrade is one of the most talented Superstars on the main roster and may find himself in the Universal Title picture in the near future. But his booking in the last few weeks have only portrayed him in a weak light.

Andrade was one of the crowd-favorites, heading into the 20-men Battle Royal. Although it was expected that Humberto Carrillo will win, the WWE universe hoped to see more from this Mexican Superstar.

He barely eliminated a couple of wrestlers before being thrown out of the ring. Andrade’s exit from the match had no significant consequence which speaks volumes about the ‘threat’ that he supposedly poses on the other members of the locker room.

Even if Andrade was one of the last five Superstars left inside the ring, it would have made him look much better. Unfortunately for him, that was not the case.

He hasn’t been involved in compelling feuds which is bad for the overall impact of his presence on the Red brand. Hopefully, that will change before the end of this year.
