His comments, shared on Twitter and discussed on the Luchando Por Tus Sueños podcast, have reignited conversations about diversity and opportunity within professional wrestling.

Andrade’s Take on WWE’s Talent Allocation

During a recent episode of the Luchando Por Tus Sueños podcast, Andrade, the reigning AEW National Champion, reflected on his brief WWE stint.

Andrade expressed frustration that, in his view, Samoan wrestlers receive more visibility and higher-profile matches.

Twitter Sparks Wider Debate

Following the podcast, Andrade posted a series of tweets criticizing WWE’s booking practices. He highlighted specific instances where Samoan talent was featured in marquee matches while Mexican wrestlers were relegated to lower card spots. The tweets quickly garnered attention from fans and industry observers, prompting discussions on social media about representation and fairness.
