1) Details On Andrade’s Release Request (Part 2)
According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select (subscribe here), backstage sources don’t expect Andrade’s release to be granted immediately. Here is what Sapp wrote about the situation:
They didn’t expect Andrade’s release to be immediately granted, and said the writing was on the wall about his future when Paul Heyman was removed from power and Andrade’s push quickly subsided.
UPDATE: Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline is reporting that Andrade’s release request has been officially denied by WWE:
Andrade asked for his WWE release earlier this week, but was denied.
Wrestling Inc. was first to report that he asked for his release at the Raw tapings this past Monday with Dave Meltzer confirming both the request and denial.
My Take:
- This is not surprising as the company likely doesn’t want him jumping to another promotion. It will be interesting to see what happens, especially since he is dating Charlotte Flair. This is definitely a story to watch in the upcoming months.
