As reported by Pro Wrestling Sheet, Andrade has been handed a 30-day suspension for a wellness policy violation.

Sources tell us Andrade – real name Manuel Oropeza – was suspended this morning. It’s unclear what substance he tested positive for at this time.

This is Andrade's first strike and he is the third name after Robert Roode and Primo Colon to be suspended for a first-time violation in the past few months.

The United States Champion faced Humberto Carrillo on this week's RAW, which was a rematch from the Royal Rumble Pre-show. The US title match ended with Carrillo picking up the win via DQ. Carrillo slammed Andrade's head on the concrete floor after the match, which was effectively done to write El Idolo off TV for a month.

We still don't know whether the suspension will affect Andrade's standing on the roster, however, it is interesting to note that he is one of the Superstars who Paul Heyman favours and wants to push on the Red Brand.

Andrade may be let off without any major repercussions as it is his first violation, however, we'll have to wait for a month to ascertain whether that is true or not.
