Andrade has released a brief message on social media following his departure from WWE, where he had a second stint that lasted less than two years. The news of his release surfaced over the weekend, prompting discussions about the circumstances surrounding his exit. According to wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer, the departure was linked to disciplinary issues, with reports indicating at least one violation of the company’s wellness policy.
While Andrade has not elaborated on the details of his release, he expressed gratitude towards WWE in a tweet, saying, “Thank you WWE!!!” He reiterated his appreciation on Instagram, where he shared a similar message with his followers. This statement marks his first public comment since the announcement of his exit, emphasizing a respectful acknowledgment of the wrestling promotion.
Recent Performance and Future Uncertainty
The 35-year-old Andrade last appeared in the ring during SummerSlam on August 3, 2023. He participated in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs (TLC) match alongside Rey Fenix for the WWE Tag Team titles. In that contest, the team of Dexter Lumis and Joe Gacy emerged victorious, successfully retaining their championship belts.
As for Andrade’s next steps, speculation remains high. Prior to his second WWE engagement, he was known as Andrade El Idolo in All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where he competed until late 2023. His return to WWE raised expectations among fans, but the recent developments have left many wondering about his future in professional wrestling.
The wrestling community continues to watch closely as Andrade navigates this transitional period, eager to see where his career will take him next.
