Andrade is no longer with WWE after what appeared to be months of tension that led to his quiet exit from the company. According to multiple reports over the past few days, several factors contributed to Andrade's release from his contract.The news of the firing was first broken by Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp, and subsequent reports have been corroborative, and not contrarian.According to BodySlam, the former United States Champion effectively ghosted the company, skipping house show appearances during WWE's European Tour and avoiding creative meetings over the past several weeks. In fact, he was originally scheduled to team up with Rey Fenix to challenge The Wyatt Sicks for the WWE Tag Team Championships at Clash in Paris last month, and perhaps even win the titles.In hindsight, El Idolo was noticeably absent from SmackDown this week, even though Rey Fenix challenged Sami Zayn for the United States Championship in an open challenge. Given how talented Fenix is, a singles title shot didn't raise eyebrows, but it does put that apparently minor decision in a new light with these latest shocking developments.Behind the scenes, long-standing creative frustrations have clearly been a major factor, which also contributed to his decision to leave All Elite Wrestling and return to WWE last year. Andrade has previously expressed dissatisfaction with his booking, and this time, he is said to have walked away rather than continue negotiating over storylines he felt were going nowhere. By walking away, we mean ghosting, not quitting of his own volition. So, what about the release?There are also reports of at least one WWE Wellness Policy violation he recently committed. It's unclear whether that violation directly triggered his departure or simply increased the tension between the performer and management, since WWE has not issued an official statement and Andrade hasn't publicly commented on the situation yet.Instead, his quiet move to the "Archive" section on WWE's website prompted an investigation by insiders and provided some context about his recent absence from WWE TV.With neither side offering confirmation or context, speculation continued about whether this was a mutual parting or a disciplinary release until Jon Alba of Sports Illustrated reported that it was not a mutual decision and most certainly disciplinary. In fact, a couple of weeks ago, the former NXT Champion was sent home from the site of SmackDown. Whether the sequence of events that played out was a deliberate risk on Andrade's part is, of course debatable.Another reason that has been speculated about is Andrade's divorce from WWE icon Charlotte Flair last year, shortly after his WWE return. To be clear, this is in no way an insinuation about any bad blood or politics leading to the Mexican star's frustrations or departure, but simply an acknowledgment that with Charlotte and Andrade no longer together, a major part of what may have prompted his WWE return last year no longer existed.For now, the key facts remain: Andrade missed several dates, plans were canceled, and he is no longer an active member of the WWE roster. The combination of creative disagreements and a possible policy breach seems to have brought his run with the company to an end.What could be next for Andrade?With the recent factionalisation of the North American professional wrestling scene, it appears that Andrade unfortunately doesn't have many options to compete at a high level anywhere on the continent, despite his talent and pedigree. AAA is now owned by WWE, while TNA is a partner promotion. Meanwhile, he is unlikely to return to AEW/ROH, which could also apply to CMLL unless bridges are mended.That is indeed a shame, because CMLL is a promotion that could realistically elevate him as one of, if not the top guy, in the company. However, that possibility cannot be ruled out. A run in Japan is not just possible, but could do wonders for the former IWGP Intercontinental Champion's career. And just to clarify, El Idolo is not only capable of revitalizing his own career with a run in Japan, but may, in fact, help revitalize the fledgling scene in Japan too.
