This week's episode of WWE RAW was certainly very eventful and it needed to be, in light of declining fan interest over the past few weeks. It was great to see that a lot of angles were advanced and WWE is going to make sure that WWE TLC is a must-watch affair.
So, in a nutshell, in case you missed the show, Seth Rollins turned heel in a shocking surprise that was expected but still stunned the world when it actually happened. Liv Morgan has been on the shelf for a long time now, but her return was also teased.
But what went under the radar was the fact that due to a miscommunication with Zelina Vega, Andrade lost his big match with Humberto Carillo this week. The two Latino Superstars would have an argument that would continue even in a very heated backstage segment.
In this article, I shall list 5 theories why Vince McMahon may want the two to go their separate ways, in the days that will follow.
#5 Humberto may need Zelina Vega's services a lot more than Andrade!
Andrade was a big deal when he was in WWE NXT and has been a part of what is known as the main roster for a long time now, as well. He is already an established Superstar, who is not exactly Paul Heyman on the microphone, but has an okay command of English at this stage. Humberto Carillo is a far newer name, and the world at large may not be familiar with him.
So what if the plan is to have Andrade let go of Zelina Vega so that she can offer her managerial services to Carillo? By doing this, Vince McMahon can potentially build a fresh new star, while Andrade attempts to carve a path for himself in WWE, without the help of his (erstwhile?) manager, Zelina Vega.
#4 Possibility of a new faction?
Not long ago, I had the pleasure of interacting with the legendary Hugo Savinovich, and he spoke at length about Rey Mysterio and just how much of a legend the man is. In Mr. Savinovich's opinion, someone like Rey Mysterio should lead a faction of Latin Americans.
This is what Hugo Savinovich had to say in my interview with him:
"If Vince and his creative team...Paul Heyman and Bruce Prichard, if they are smart...they will do something with a Spanish group together. Like an alliance with Spanish talent. And get Rey Mysterio as the Captain of a strong faction of Latinos."
So, it only stands to reason, that as we have seen many times in the past, Andrade and Humberto Carillo will probably take each other to the distance in a series of classic matches, and then come together to form a faction together. If Rey Mysterio is indeed the leader of the faction, as Mr. Savinovich predicted, then Zelina Vega's ability may not be needed and she will be free to manage another talent, who may need assistance on the microphone.
#3 For Andrade to possibly team up with Charlotte Flair
It is very well-known that Charlotte Flair and Andrade are a couple, and both Superstars have been very public about their relationship. We all know that Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch are pretty much the anchors who're carrying the RAW women's division right now, but there are only so many matches that they can have with one another.
If Andrade and Zelina Vega are separated, there's always the possibility that Vince McMahon may want to book a mixed tag team match between Andrade and Charlotte Flair against Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins at some point, somewhere down the line. We all know that the four individuals concerned can tear the house down, and there's no weak link in this equation at all.
We've seen how good Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch were as a team against the oddball pairing of Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans in a match that was surprisingly better than one assumed it would be. It would be very interesting to see if a heel Seth Rollins can coexist with a babyface like Becky Lynch.
This is certainly a match that could happen!
#2 For Zelina Vega to potentially enter the ring
Everybody says that the women's division on RAW is stronger than it has ever been, but I honestly would beg to differ. If such was indeed the case, Becky Lynch would not have to be a part of the Women's Tag Team Division as well, in addition to being the RAW Women's Champion too. Asuka and Kairi Sane do not have realistic challengers, and this is why Becky Lynch has to be a part of, effectively, two different divisions.
Zelina Vega is certainly someone who can actually wrestle and go in the ring, and so her talents may be better used in that fashion if Vince McMahon so deems it worthy. We have all seen her incredible feats of athleticism during Andrade's matches, and if she's given an opportunity to showcase her talents, I'm sure she can be a very promising prospect. Maybe she won't be the next Charlotte Flair, but she doesn't need to be, right?
Vega could, in fact, maybe team up with someone from RAW and bolster the Women's Tag Team Division as well.
#1 To make Andrade RAW's top babyface character & take Rollins on
We all know that Seth Rollins is the central character on Monday Night RAW, where he used to lead the charge as the face of the brand. But now, he's gone heel and the other big star. Brock Lesnar is a heel as well, meaning that there's a spot open at the top for someone to become the top babyface on WWE RAW.
Andrade could technically become a very strong babyface, and feud with Seth Rollins because the two men would, pardon the pun, burn it down! And for a babyface to have a manager is weird, in a sense, because managers often play dirty, as we've seen Zelina Vega do in the past.
I mean she often gets involved in every match and helps Andrade pick up the win, on most occasions, except for this fateful night. There's always the chance that the two of them will reconcile and that it was all a ruse to make Humberto Carillo believe that these two weren't on the same page at all.
Let's see where the story eventually leads us.
