It’s well known that Andrade became the new WWE United States Champion when he beat Rey Mysterio at a house show in Madison Square Garden.

Dave Meltzer reported in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Andrade winning the title wasn’t a change of plans for WWE and he was always set to get it.

The reason that Andrade lost to Humberto Carrillo twice leading up to this win was to put Carrillo in the title hunt. This was the original plan when he was feuding with AJ Styles, who was champion at the time. 

It turns out that WWE felt that Carrillo lost steam due to the Survivor Series story with NXT. Thus, Mysterio got the title instead and Carrillo was given wins over Andrade to heat him back up.

Andrade is slated to feud with Carrillo and Mysterio to be slotted into the feud between Kevin Owens & Samoa Joe and Seth Rollins & The AOP.
