Andrade shows off brutal scar on his face following homecoming WWE show

WWE hosted a recent live event in Mexico City. The show featured a Six-Man Tag Team contest with some of the company's biggest stars.

Andrade joined fellow WWE Superstars Randy Orton and LA Knight this weekend in Mexico for a live event to take on The Bloodline. Despite a loss, it was a memorable moment for the former United States Champion. He not only tagged alongside the biggest babyfaces in the roster today but also felt the admiration of his home country fans. Andrade is receiving a generally positive reception from fans. He is also the current Speed Champion.

"Gracias por el genial recibimiento Ciudad de México!! Me llevo un recuerdo!! Pero nos vemos hoy en Monterrey Nuevo León! 😡 #newbloodline #andrade #wwe #mexicocity," Andrade wrote. Translation: "Thank you for the great welcome Mexico City!! I'm taking a memory with me!! But see you today in Monterrey Nuevo León!"

At WrestleMania XL, Andrade sided with WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio in a tag team match against Dominik Mysterio and Santos Escobar in what he called a dream-come-true moment.

Rey Mysterio talks about working with Andrade in WWE

During his first stint, one of Andrade's most notable rivalries was against Rey Mysterio. The duo competed in several television matches that received praise unanimously.

Speaking on The Wrestling Classic earlier this year, The Master of 619 commented on El Idolo's return to the Stamford-based promotion. He expressed an interest in recruiting the former AEW star to Latino World Order:

"I would love to have him be a part of the LWO. Maybe one day. Never say never but, I respect his talent, I respect what he does in the ring, he’s an incredible representative of lucha libre and I admire him," said Mysterio.

At Money in the Bank, he failed to win the briefcase as Drew McIntyre emerged as the victor. However, as he currently holds the Speed Championship, there seems to be a rising star on SmackDown who has put a target on his back. The man in question is Carmelo Hayes.
