Andrade Bounces Back from WWE Firing, Wins Indie Title in Mexico
6 Oct, 2025
Summary
- Andrade released from WWE less than a month ago
- Joined AEW and won The Crash Heavyweight Championship in Mexico
- Overcame wellness policy violations and backstage issues in his career

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.
