Andrade fired by WWE due to backstage incident - Reports 

Andrade's release from WWE came as a huge shock for many wrestling fans, but it appears that it has been in discussion for several weeks.

Andrade was quietly taken off TV several weeks ago, with his last match coming back at SummerSlam, and Dave Meltzer, while speaking on The Wrestling Observer Radio, recently revealed that this stemmed from a backstage incident.

"I don't know the whole story, but I do know it was a discipline thing, and it was not his doing at all."

He went on explain that he was sent home a few weeks ago.

“It actually is a story from a couple of weeks ago that just broke today... All I know is it was at a TV shoot and he was told to go home, and he’s not been used since. I was told it was not drug-related, not alcohol-related, it was not marriage-related, you know all the marriage is over. But nobody would tell me what it was. But it was enough to be sent home.”

There was no other information given about the incident or who was involved in the reason for him being sent home.

Meltzer claimed that he could now head to CMLL to become a main eventer following his WWE release.

What's next for Andrade following his WWE release?

Andrade has already made a name for himself in AEW, a company that he left back in December 2023, but there is an option for him to make his return since there are reports that the door was left open for him when he walked away.

The 35-year-old's release came as a surprise for many since he has been a recognizable name in WWE and appeared to be happy on the SmackDown brand.
