5 WWE Superstars who are very different from their personas outside the ring

#3 Andrade

Andrade is hardly the disrespectful character he plays on TV.

When Andrade first debuted in NXT, he played a face character that struggled to garner much traction, and generally found himself lost in the shuffle. As time went on, the character shifted. A heel persona and pairing with Zelina Vega as his manager meant major changes for him as he suddenly had the opportunity to show a more distinctive personality, and highlight his unique skill set as a performer capable of wrestling a fast-paced, Lucha libre informed style while adding a more heelish violent edge.

A big part of Andrade's identity on the main roster has seen him further the heel character he started in developmental, including touting his own greatness and not only targeting but disrespecting legends like Rey Mysterio, including tearing off his mask. The reality? Andrade has revealed himself to be deeply respectful of the legends of wrestling, and particularly the luchadors who came before him. Rather than an upstart unconcerned with his history and elders, he's made a case for himself as a student of the game and wrestler who looks up to those stars who paved the way for his career today.
