We noted earlier on the site that WWE United States Champion Andrade did not work the WrestleMania 36 tapings this week after suffering a rib injury during Monday’s Raw where he teamed with Angel Garza to defeat Ricochet and Cedric Alexander.
Andrade and Garza were to challenge The Street Profits at WrestleMania but Andrade was replaced by WWE NXT Superstar Austin Theory, according to POST Wrestling.
Theory was introduced as the replacement to team with Garza. An angle will likely air on Monday’s Raw to explain why Theory is replacing Andrade in the match.
The injury is “very minor” but bad enough that he was not going to be medically cleared to compete.
