WWE star Andrade opens up on his release request

Andrade has not been featured or mentioned at all since the October 12 episode of Raw. It was soon reported that he had handed in his release request at the RAW tapings on March 8th but was denied by the WWE.

El Idolo took to twitter to confirm that he had indeed asked for his release from the WWE. He added that he wasn’t sure what the future holds for him but wanted to make his dreams come true. Andrade concluded by thanking the fans for their support.

“The rumors are true and I don’t know what the future holds but I want to make my dreams come true. Thank you for giving me so much support these last days.”


Andrade’s last appearance with the WWE saw him and his manager Zelina Vega get attacked by the Fiend and Alexa Bliss. Vega was fired a month later and it looks like Andrade is looking to follow in her footsteps. Although, it is looking unlikely that the WWE will let him go. He may have to sit out the remainder of his contract.
