Andrade’s WWE Brand Choice Revealed: Raw Signing Confirmed by Adam Pearce

WWE brand that Andrade is aligning with following his return, as both Raw and SmackDown aggressively courted the wrestling sensation.

Andrade, formerly known as Andrade el Idolo in AEW, made a spectacular return to WWE at the Royal Rumble. However, the question of which brand he would join remained unanswered.

The revelation unfolded on the January 29 episode of WWE Raw, featuring a backstage segment with SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis and Raw GM Adam Pearce, both eager to secure the services of the ‘top free agent.’

In this segment, Andrade officially pledged allegiance to the WWE Raw brand by putting pen to paper. This not only confirmed his return to WWE but also indicated his commitment to regular appearances on Raw.

In a light-hearted moment, Andrade asked Aldis to convey a ‘Hola!’ to Zelina Vega on SmackDown before making his exit. Despite his departure, Aldis and Pearce continued their competitive dynamic, with Aldis leaving abruptly as his phone rang, hinting at a call from Bron Breakker, the NXT star who made a powerful impression at the WWE Royal Rumble by eliminating several prominent competitors.
