10 WWE Midcarders Who Would Be Main Eventers In AEW
3. Andrade
On the subject of phenomenal athletes, former masked star Andrade is up there with the best of them. His history in Mexico and Japan speaks for itself, not to mention he was one half of the first WWE matches to receive a five star rating from the Wrestling Observer in years!
After a stop start push in NXT, Andrade picked up a shock win for the NXT title against a freshly crowned champ in Drew McIntyre. Heart pounding title defences followed, including the five star classic against Johnny Gargano. Eventually, it was the afore mentioned Aleister Back who dethroned the Mexican highlight reel for the strap.
Andrade's main roster career hasn't been quite so successful just yet, though he has shown promise. While no one can argue with his skills within the squared circle, his lack of English as a first language may be what restricts him in his pursuit for success within the sports entertainment powerhouse.
Such roadblocks wouldn't be an issue in a sports focused wrestling promotion, where wrestling ability does the talking for you. The potential match ups Andrade could have with the likes of Kenny Omega and Hangman Adam Page are the stuff of wrestling fanatic's dreams and would have Dave Meltzer seeing stars for weeks!
