WWE Releases Andrade Over Disciplinary Issues After Suspension

WWE released Andrade in 2025 due to disciplinary issues rather than dissatisfaction with his booking or personal matters such as drugs or alcohol, according to multiple wrestling insiders including Dave Meltzer. His release followed an incident at a television taping where he was sent home and subsequently suspended without pay for at least one wellness policy violation. Andrade reportedly ceased communication with WWE after the incident, contributing to the company's decision to part ways with him. This sudden departure disrupted WWE's creative plans, including a planned tag team championship run with Rey Fenix at Clash in Paris, leading to a reshuffling of storylines and partners. Andrade's second WWE tenure was brief but featured notable moments like winning the WWE Speed Championship and a Royal Rumble return; however, tensions had grown following WWE's acquisition of AAA, where Andrade was notably absent from major storylines. Despite his past frustrations and previous departure from WWE, sources emphasize that Andrade did not request his release and that disciplinary actions were the primary cause of his exit.
