On March 12th, reports emerged that Andrade had officially requested his release from WWE after removing all references to WWE from his social media, including from his Twitter handle. Andrade would add fuel to those flames by posting a photo of himself with the caption “Camina Walk!!” before adding, “If you don’t like where you are, move. You are not a tree.”
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer has noted that Andrade’s request was denied, with recent reports suggesting the former NXT Champion wasn’t backstage at RAW. Andrade hasn’t been seen on WWE television since before the latest WWE draft in November 2020, where he remained undrafted. His last match was a losing effort on RAW in October to former stablemate Angel Garza.
