Andrade posts first message since WWE release
Andrade has shared his first message since departing WWE.
Over the weekend, news broke that Andrade had been released from WWE, ending his second run with the company after having returned less than two years ago. Our Dave Meltzer reported that the release was a “disciplinary thing” that had led to Andrade being sent home a few weeks ago. The Takedown on SI added that Andrade had at least one wellness policy violation during his most recent WWE stint, though it’s not clear if that was the direct reason for his departure.
Andrade has not addressed the circumstances of his exit at this point, but he sent out a brief social media post on Monday thanking WWE.
“Thank you WWE!!!,” he tweeted.
He also posted a thank you on his Instagram account.
Andrade last competed at SummerSlam on August 3, where he and Rey Fenix were one of the pairings in a TLC match for the WWE Tag Team titles. Dexter Lumis & Joe Gacy of The Wyatt Sicks won that match to retain the belts.
What’s next for the 35-year-old Andrade is not known yet. Between his two WWE stints, he was part of the AEW roster and competed under the name Andrade El Idolo. He departed AEW at the end of 2023 so he could return to WWE.
