10 Wrestlers Who Are DYING For Something New
4. Andrade El Idolo
Andrade's career has had more peaks and valleys than a mountaineer's Instagram.
From making waves in CMLL to participating in one of the flattest debuts in NXT history; to resurrecting his career with an electric team-up alongside Zelina Vega to floundering on WWE's main roster; from joining AEW alongside the legendary Guerrero family to walking away from the company when his contract expired. Andrade's career follows a pattern of ups and downs (good name for a video series, that), and it's a pattern that the studly luchador's WWE return has already fallen prey to.
After re-debuting in the WWE, Andrade looked set to right the wrongs of his previous run and make a run as a main-event level superstar. Fast forward a few months later and, rather than tussling for the biggest belts in the company, Andrade is now the proud owner of the WWE Speed Championship - a belt that, as of writing, exists only a rung above the discontinued 24/7 belt in terms of fan recognition (for further context, the 24/7 belt's final appearance on TV saw it being chucked in a bin).
Put simply, Andrade is a long way from competing for the biggest belts in the company. And unless he finds a way to break out of the cycle he's been trapped in for the past decade, he'd better get used to hauling that Speed strap across his shoulder...
