Report: Andrade Undergoing Minor Elective Procedure, Expected To Miss A Month
Reported reason why Andrade was not drafted or signed on Monday.
According to Raj Giri of Wrestling INC, Andrade is undergoing a minor elective procedure and is expected to be out of action for a month.
Andrade and Mickie James were the only two names from the Friday and Monday draft pools who were not drafted by a brand following the conclusion of night two of the WWE Draft. Neither were signed to a brand via free agency either.
James recently revealed that she is out of action with a broken nose and will not be wrestling for a couple of weeks.
Andrade did appear on Monday’s Raw, losing to Angel Garza in singles competition. Following the bout, he and Zelina Vega were attacked by ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt and Alexa Bliss.
On social media, Andrade caused a stir when he tweeted and deleted “thank you,” with many speculating that he was leaving WWE. His girlfriend Charlotte Flair calmed the rumors by saying he was simply wishing Vega well as they go their respective ways. Andrade also posted a photo of him as NXT champion, leading some to believe he will return to NXT.
As of now, WWE has not commented on Andrade’s status and he remains without a brand.
