Andrade, and your writer is grateful for this, because El Ídolo has avoided several quasi-racist "They do have a fiery temper!" takes, goes about his reported unhappiness in total stealth mode.

Andrade hasn't allowed his lack of motivation affect his in-ring work; removing pay-per-view from the equation, he is the MVP of the main roster in 2019, having electrified SmackDown crowds in a series of rapid-fire bangers with Rey Mysterio. Those matches were so great that we could infer his unhappiness from their ultimately meaning nothing alone. However, reports of Andrade's unhappiness stem from his days in NXT, even. Most recently, Andrade's unhappiness has manifested as the anti-Shining Stars approach. He has reportedly advised friends Rush and Dragon Lee against signing with the company. This is some flex:

"Don't sign with WWE, because they will book you like sh*t."

That isn't a direct quote, but this is: Dave Meltzer claimed in December 2018 that Andrade is "completely not happy" in WWE, and the underwhelming one-hand-giveth blowoff to the Mysterio programme can't have helped. The rumour and innuendo of the online experience yields a lot of bullsh*t - but Rush signed with Ring Of Honor, which can't be a coincidence.

Also: Andrade is one of the best workers in the entire company, and they book him like sh*t.
