Andrade Issues First Comments After WWE Release

Andrade is no longer a WWE Superstar but he’s still appreciative of his time with the company.

On Sunday night, WWE confirmed Andrade had been released from his obligations to the company, and now the former NXT Champion has commented on the news. Andrade says he’s thankful for Triple H, Paul Heyman and William Regal for showing him support over the years, and thanked the fans and talent who took the journey with him as well:

I want to thank @TripleH, @HeymanHustle and @RealKingRegal for all these years and great support that they gave me all these years also to the fans who were always supporting me, a big hug to all the talent and workers who always behaved kindly to me.

Andrade first debuted with WWE on the NXT brand in January 2016 and later joined SmackDown (with Zelina Vega) after being moved in that year’s Superstar Shakeup. Prior to WWE, he was known as La Sombra and gained international fame as part of the CMLL roster in Los Ingobernables alongside Rush, Marco Corleone (Mark Jindrak) and La Máscara.
