WWE Parts Ways With Andrade After Suspension and Disciplinary Incident, Reports Say

Reporting points to a wellness-policy violation that prompted an unpaid suspension, scrapped storylines, then a quiet move to WWE’s alumni page.

Overview

  • WWE’s website reclassified Andrade to the alumni section, the company’s standard public indicator that a performer has left the active roster.
  • Sports Illustrated’s Jon Alba reports the exit was not mutual or budget-related and that Andrade incurred at least one wellness-policy violation resulting in suspension without pay.
  • Fightful and Wrestling Observer reporting says Andrade was told to leave a TV taping last month, with one account saying he was escorted from the building following the suspension.
  • Planned creative involving his tag team with Rey Fenix was dropped, and Andrade had not appeared on television since the Aug. 3 SummerSlam period or been backstage in recent weeks.
  • Outlets describe the situation as isolated rather than part of mass cuts, Andrade has not publicly confirmed details, and industry chatter points to AEW or a return to Mexico as possibilities.
