Andrade Thanks WWE After Release – Andrade has addressed fans for the first time since his sudden WWE exit this past weekend. Taking to social media, the former champion kept his message short but clear, writing, “Thank you WWE!!!”
Speculation about Andrade’s status began when WWE quietly moved him from the active roster page to the alumni section of its official website. That change served as the first public confirmation that his time with the company had come to an end.
Additional details have since emerged regarding the nature of his departure. According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, Andrade’s release was tied to “a disciplinary thing,” noting that he had been sent home from a recent television taping. Sports Illustrated further reported that during this latest WWE run, Andrade was suspended at least once for violating the company’s Wellness Policy. However, the specific incident that directly led to his release has not been revealed.
This marks the end of Andrade’s second stint in WWE. His first tenure, which began in 2017, saw him capture both the NXT Championship and the United States Championship before leaving the company in March 2021. He then spent two and a half years with All Elite Wrestling, where he competed regularly until his surprise return to WWE during the 2024 Royal Rumble.
His comeback initially carried strong momentum, with Andrade appearing in notable matches and storylines across RAW and SmackDown. However, his push gradually slowed, and he became a more sporadic presence on television. Andrade’s last official WWE match took place in July, several months before the company officially confirmed his departure.
