1) Why Andrade Wasn’t Stripped Of The U.S Title
News broke this week that Andrade has been suspended 30-days by WWE for violating the company wellness policy. Many fans have been wondering why Andrade wasn’t stripped of his United States Title after this happened.
On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer says that this was a decision made by Paul Heyman.
Here is what Meltzer said:
“Andrade is suspended that’s why they did the angle tonight where Humberto Carrillo DDT’ed him on the concrete to explain him being out for the 30 days and the decision was made — it was a Paul Heyman decision — to keep the title on Andrade. The usual protocol would be for him to lose the title as well, but Heyman is very high on Andrade and felt it was too early to put the title on Carrillo.”
My Take:
- This tells me that Andrade will be walking into Wrestlemania 36 as the United States Champion. If that wasn’t the plan, they would have just stripped him of his belt.
