Andrade remains one of WWE's biggest recent releases. Signing him would let AEW grab the headlines once again. After a long career on NXT, when he was paired with Zelina Vega, it was a match made in heaven. He finally got that push he had been waiting for and soon enough, there was no stopping him. He was defeating everyone he came across and there didn't seem to be anyone who could stop him.

He won the NXT Championship and then came to the main roster. There, soon enough, he was pushed hard and fast. He won the WWE United States Championship. WWE seemed to have a lot of plans for him. Unfortunately, his momentum seemed to die out.

He found himself sitting on the sidelines. He didn't have the same energy as he once did, and despite a promising tag team with Angel Garza, it didn't work out. Zelina Vega was suddenly released from the company, days after she was removed from Andrade's side. While her release had to do with the newly introduced third-party rule, Andrade's run also seemed to suffer at the same time.

He hardly appeared on television and then requested his release. WWE granted his release, and he is now a free agent. Wherever he goes next, it would be a huge signing — especially if he goes to AEW.

If AEW manages to sign Andrade, his potential matches with the likes of Pentagon, Fenix and Kenny Omega will be mouthwatering. There are multiple things he could do as a part of AEW that would lead to excellent storylines.
