Backstage News on Why WWE Chose to Keep US Title on Andrade

— On the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer reported that it was Paul Heyman’s idea to keep the US title on Andrade despite his WWE Wellness Policy violation. Heyman is reportedly high on Andrade and wants to make him a “franchise player” and a cornerstone of the franchise and he felt that having Humberto Carrillo beat him so quickly would not help accomplish that goal. Other talent that Heyman is high on are Drew McIntyre, Buddy Murphy, Aleister Black, Carrillo and Ricochet “to a lesser extent.”

— As for Andrade, he is out of action due to the policy violation until towards the end of February as it will last 30 days from today’s date.
