WWE broke the news on Sunday night that it had granted Andrade his release from his WWE contract, making him a free agent. The news came weeks after reports of “El Idolo” requesting his release (and WWE reportedly rejecting it initially) popped up online and just a few days after the former NXT Champion confirmed the rumors on his Twitter account. Andrade has yet to open up publicly about why he wanted out (or why WWE relented and gave him his release), but former WWE star Epico (Orlando Colon) shed some light on the situation while on the UnSKripted podcast this week.
