On Monday’s WWE Raw, footage was shown from this past Saturday’s Royal Rumble, which featured the return of Andrade, who was a surprise entrant in the Men’s Rumble Match. He returned after his deal with AEW expired. Andrade’s real-life wife Charlotte Flair pushed for her husband to return to the WWE.
During Monday’s episode of Raw, Andrade appeared in a backstage segment with Raw General Manager Adam Pearce and SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis. Andrade officially signed a contract to join the Raw roster.
At the close of the segment, Aldis said he received a call from Bron Breakker that he had to go take, suggesting he could sign a deal to join the SmackDown roster.
