I have no way to ascertain exactly what happened with regard to Andrade, but I do know that he's going to be out for a month because of a wellness policy violation. Andrade was on top of the world and this is guaranteed to bring him down a peg or two when he returns.
Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.
This was the reason why he was written off from WWE television with the DDT to the concrete floor. Whatever the case may be, having your United States Champion on TV for a month is really bad news, especially if WWE decides not to strip Andrade of the gold.

And this is compounded by the fact that Brock Lesnar won't appear every week either with the WWE Championship. So, you will have the two top male champions missing WWE for the foreseeable future then.
The only positive I can see coming out of this is if Asuka and Kairi Sane get to defend their titles a lot more, with the men missing.
