Andrade Joins WWE RAW, Nick Aldis Teases Bron Breakker Talks
Andrade has inked a deal to join the WWE RAW brand.
The Men’s Royal Rumble match in 2024 marked the return of Andrade, who had previously departed from WWE in 2021 after submitting a request for his release.
Andrade made an appearance in a backstage segment on January 29 episode of WWE RAW, where he was seen signing a contract for the RAW brand. General Manager Adam Pearce subsequently confirmed his official inclusion on the red-brand roster.

Andrade, a former NXT Champion and United States Champion during his WWE tenure, joined AEW after parting ways with WWE. His stint with the company concluded at AEW World’s End 2023 PPV event, where he was defeated by Miro.
SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis also came in during the segment when Andrade signed with RAW. He mentioned the need to discuss WWE Elimination Chamber with Pearce. However, Aldis’s attention was diverted when he received a phone call, claiming it was from Bron Breakker.
Breakker earlier called main roster his new home after his dominant performance in the men’s Royal Rumble match. His performance was also recapped during RAW on Monday night also.
Andrade and Bron Breakker are not the only ones available to be signed by RAW and Smackdown. Jade Cargill also remain a free agent for now. Tiffany Stratton is also speculated to be called up to the main roster from NXT.
