Unfortunately, Andrade has been suspended for the next month due to a violation of the WWE wellness policy and that is why he was written off TV this week on Raw by taking a hammerlock DDT from Humberto Carillo on the exposed concrete. All I can say is hopefully this doesn’t turn into a trend, since Robert Roode also recently served a 30-day suspension for the same violation. Brock Lesnar may need to continue making regular appearances on Monday Night Raw while Andrade is out so at least one champion is present on the show (since Andrade is obviously the United States Champion).
It’s a shame too because Andrade had a good amount of momentum going and there is no guarantee that he will get it back to the same degree. He is still obviously the United States Champion, so he is guaranteed to retain it, but it’s also a shame that Monday Night Raw will be without a championship of any kind featured on the show for the next month.
