I want to thank @TripleH , @HeymanHustle and @RealKingRegal for all these years and great support that they gave me all these years also to the fans who were always supporting me, a big hug to all the talent and workers who always behaved kindly to me. 👊🏼🙏🏼

WWE hadn't used Andrade on TV for the past five months

The last time Andrade was seen on WWE TV was way back in October 2020. He was attacked by The Fiend moments after he lost a match to Angel Garza. This was it for him in regards to in-ring competition; fans never saw him compete in a WWE ring again.

Andrade's request for his WWE release was denied by the company but the higher-ups have seemingly had a change of heart over the past week. Andrade himself later confirmed the reports:

"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 a lot of support in the last days."

Andrade has finally left WWE. His fans are hopeful that he will be signed by a major company in the near future. Where do you want to see Andrade wrestle after his 90-day non-compete clause ends? Sound off in the comment section!

While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
