5 WWE Superstars who could become Andrade's new manager

Will Andrade return to WWE with a new manager?
Will Andrade return to WWE with a new manager?

Andrade's partnership with Angel Garza came to an end a few weeks ago on RAW. Zelina Vega was also drafted over to SmackDown at the end of the WWE Draft.

Whilst there have been rumors that Vince McMahon has given up on the former NXT Champion, this could be the perfect time for Andrade to repackage and return.

If the former NXT Champion has some time away from WWE TV then he could return and start afresh with a new manager and a different attitude which might finally allow him to go after the World Championship.

Andrade isn't the strongest talker on the mic in WWE, which means that he would have to return with someone who can do the talking for him. Here is a look at five prospective managers for him.

#5 Fellow WWE star Lana could step in to manage Andrade

Zelina Vega stepped in to help Andrade rehab his lifestyle and was able to take him to the NXT Championship while both of them were in the black and gold brand. Now that Vega has gone to SmackDown, Andrade could be in the position where he needs to find some similar to guide him.

Lana may not have the best track record in recent years, but when her stats while managing Rusev are brought into account, she would be the perfect candidate.

Lana's in a rough position on WWE TV at present and this could be a way to prevent The Ravishing Russian from being put through another table by Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax.

After her RAW Women's Championship loss to Asuka last week, there's not much going on for Lana at present since Natalya was also drafted to SmackDown. Andrade and Lana could make an interesting team.

#4 WWE Hall of Famer Paul Ellering could return to manage Andrade

WWE Hall of Famer Paul Ellering did a fantastic job with The Authors of Pain down in NXT and was able to lead them to the tag team gold. The legendary manager of The Road Warriors has made a career out of pushing tag teams forward and he could be the man to return to help Andrade.

In recent interviews, Ellering has talked about a plan that WWE had ahead of the COVID-19 situation where he was going to return and help The Authors of Pain. Now that the two men have been released from the company this is no longer feasible but if Ellering was able to find someone in NXT to partner Andrade, then he could have another fantastic tag team on his hands.

At present, Andrade may work better in a team than on his own, and Paul Ellering is the best tag team manager that the company has at their disposal. So why not ask the WWE Hall of Famer if he's open to one more stint in the company?

#3 Andrade could return to WWE TV and decide to go it alone

Whilst it has already been noted that Andrade isn't the strongest star on the mic and he needed someone like Zelina Vega to help with his promos, that isn't a solid reason for the former US Champion to not attempt to make it on his own.

When Andrade first came to NXT he tried to make it alone. If Andrade makes his return as a singles star and tries to push forward in the division without any support, then he could find someone to help him gradually rather than returning with someone by his side.

Cesaro isn't a strong person on the mic either but WWE has found a way to allow the former tag team champion to become a star in the company without a manager. If WWE's plan for Andrade is to see if he can go it alone and cut down on the amount of promo time that he is handed, then it could be interesting.

After all, Andrade is one of the most exciting in-ring stars in the company at present.

#2 WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair could return to manage Andrade

Ric Flair has been playing a big part in the storyline between Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton along with the legends in the company such as The Big Show, Christian and Shawn Michaels. It's unknown as to whether or not the legends will return again and be part of Hell in a Cell after the beatdown that they received a few weeks ago on RAW.

The question here is that if Ric Flair's finished being part of this storyline then is it possible for him to return and manage Andrade? The two men have become close in recent years since the former NXT Champion has been dating his daughter, Charlotte, and it could be a good move for WWE to put the two men together.

Ric Flair helped push his daughter into the stardom on WWE TV and is one of the best heels in the history of the company. Andrade could learn some invaluable things from Flair if the company allows the two men to work closely together.

#1 Former WWE Women's Champion Charlotte Flair could return to help Andrade

Charlotte Flair hasn't been seen in a WWE ring for a number of months after the former Women's Champion was attacked by Nia Jax following Backlash in June.

Charlotte has been taking some time away from WWE to rest and to have some elective surgery and isn't expected to make her return until The Royal Rumble in 2021. That being said, Charlotte could change her mind and return to work alongside Andrade if the company brought the idea forward.

Flair and Andrade are engaged outside of the company and The Queen recently teased that she could become the manager of El Idolo. This would be a chance for the two stars to test the waters before they enter a full-blown feud which could allow them to take on other couples in the company.

Whilst this would seem like a waste of Charlotte's talent, it could be argued that she has nothing left to prove at present. The Queen is already a 12-time Women's Champion, and managing her fiancee on WWE TV is something completely different for her.
