Andrade last wrestled for WWE in October 2020, taking time off for a minor surgical procedure afterwards. He is yet to return to television.

WWE are not in the habit of letting wrestlers they see as a potential asset to another company go, with the likes of PAC, Brodie Lee, and FTR all retained for months after requesting their releases in recent years.
