Although Andrade has been a part of the main roster since April last year, the opportunities given to him at SmackDown Live have been few and far between. During much of his run so far, he has not been given the opportunity to fully sink his teeth into any feud or rivalry.

For a short while, it seemed that he may be set for a feud with Rey Mysterio. However, those plans were nixed as Mysterio squared off against Samoa Joe for the United States Championship, while Andrade was a part of the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

Despite the limited opportunities given to the former NXT Champion, he has produced a number of high-quality matches against the likes of AJ Styles and Rey Mysterio. A big push has always seemed around the corner for Andrade. The Superstar Shake-Up may just have come at the perfect time for Andrade as a switch to the red brand may bolster his career.

Andrade and Bálor have the abilities to produce high quality matches and it would be interesting to see the synergy between the two former NXT Champions. It may provide a push for both the individuals involved.
