Tonight's WWE RAW had a lot of family drama involved

#3 Flopped on WWE RAW: Andrade

Andrade certainly deserves better on WWE RAW

WWE RAW Superstar Andrade is now left all alone on the red brand. Last night, he teamed up with Angel Garza to challenge The Street Profits for the WWE RAW Tag Team Championships. The champions retained their titles, and unfortunately, Garza sustained an injury.

Tonight, Andrade came on WWE RAW and immediately took shots at Zelina Vega – his former manager. He went on to point that she is ‘nothing’ without him.

Andrade then demanded someone to come out and fight him, and it was Keith Lee who decided to take this opportunity, and the two were engaged in a short encounter. Andrade kickstarted the match by grappling Lee, but the latter proved to be too strong. Although Andrade went on to dominate most of the match, the last few seconds saw Lee absolutely crush his opponent and pick up a swift victory.

We shouldn't hold him entirely responsible for this result because it was evident that WWE wanted him to put Lee over. However, he did appear slightly off inside the ring as he looked slow, distracted, and nothing like his usual self.

WWE's creative team must refrain from booking Andrade to make him seem weak. He can prove to be a good challenger for Drew McIntyre’s WWE Championship. In the absence of Garza and Vega, this is the chance that WWE have to push him into the world title picture, even if he doesn’t win it.
