Andrade was one of the most underutilized talents in WWE and realizing his potential was being wasted, requested a release from contract. With fans unsure about his future, he unexpectedly debuted as an AEW Superstar as ‘Andrade El Idolo’.

With the sort of impact he’s already managed to make, we could be looking at a future World Champion and even at the face of AEW. Debuting on the rival promotion, Andrade has joined the club of inter-promotional relationships, given that Charlotte Flair, his fianceé is in WWE.

However, ‘The Queen’ could not be more proud of Andrade’s decision and admire his braveness in actually taking the step.

“I’m just so motivated and inspired by his decision,” she said, speaking to Bleacher Report. “It was his dream to be in WWE, but I think he knew and felt he wanted more. He could get more and maybe going and showing his worth and working on things that he needed to like his English, that’s what it was going to take to be where he wants to be.”

“To do that on his own accord and not be scared of the future but to know that he’ll succeed and one day come back… I don’t know if that’s what he’d want to do. But he wants success.”

“He wants the platform, he wants to get better. He wants to main-event shows. To see him come out the other night when he debuted, full-blown star. You can’t deny him, he is a star,” she said. “Working on his English, I know things are going to get bigger and better and brighter for him and I support him 100 percent. It’s really inspiring to watch. He just went and did it.”
