Thea Trinidad (Zelina Vega) shares a heartfelt message after Andrade's WWE release

Former WWE Superstar Thea Trinidad, aka Zelina Vega, took to Twitter to share an emotional message for Andrade.

In her post, Trinidad hailed Andrade as one of the most talented people in the business. She referred to him as her brother and seemed grateful about their time working together in WWE. Here's what she had to say about Andrade:

"Since the moment I met you, I knew that you not only were an amazing person but also one of the most talented in this business and you’d be successful no matter what. I’m so grateful to know you, share these memories, and have a brother for life. Love you hermano. #TranquiloForLife"

Over the last few weeks, there were rumors about Andrade asking for his release from WWE. However, several people backstage believed that it wouldn't happen. Thus, WWE's announcement about Andrade's release right after Fastlane took several fans by surprise.

Reports suggest that Andrade doesn't have a 90-day non-compete clause in his release contract. Hence, everyone is interested in knowing his next move as he is free to sign with any rival promotion immediately.
