Andrade Bounces Back from WWE Firing, Wins Indie Title in Mexico

In a surprising turn of events, Andrade, the former WWE United States Champion, has bounced back from his recent dismissal from the company. Less than a month after his release, Andrade has joined AEW and already captured an independent title in Mexico.

Andrade's WWE run came to an abrupt end last month due to a reported disciplinary issue. According to reports, he was suspended without pay following a wellness policy violation and was eventually escorted out of a SmackDown taping in mid-August. This led to the company having to scrap planned storylines, including a partnership with Rey Fenix.

However, Andrade has wasted no time in reclaiming his momentum. On October 1st, he made his AEW debut, aligning himself with The Don Callis Family and immediately targeting Kenny Omega. Just two days later, Andrade traveled to Tijuana, Mexico, where he defeated DMT Azul to capture the prestigious The Crash Heavyweight Championship, ending Azul's reign of over two years.

This rapid resurgence is a testament to Andrade's talent and determination. Despite the setbacks in his career, including a previous 30-day suspension in 2020 and a confrontation with Sammy Guevara during his earlier stint with AEW, Andrade has proven his ability to bounce back and reclaim the spotlight. The victory in Mexico marks another step in his journey to regain his status as a top draw in the industry.
