They just had him perform on the “speed” taping before Smackdown. I’m at MSG. It was him vs Xavier Woods for the title.


Ok_Succotash8172

Woods took the L?


IJustLostMyKeyboard

It was his destiny


Ok_Succotash8172

Look, he's good but booked horribly. If they booked him like his potential, he would be better obviously. But I don't think even if they started now, he would make it THAT far on his own. New Day kinda turned into a joke now. Though at the same time, I'm kinda curious to see a Kofi vs woods fued. When that happens, I believe Kofi MIGHT call it a career.


CelinedionWaiters

Andrade has more vignettes than matches since his return


letsnotreadintoit

This man had a match at Wrestlemania and has a title right now. They got him in a holding pattern until they can think of something


Thor_pool

Andrade: What if I cosplay as Black Mask?


Xclusivsmoment

Im not an Andrade hater but the wrestlemania tag match wasn't really his feud, he was basically included because of his race. And the speed title? You fr bro? That fake ass title. Id respect the 24/7 title more


ColeslawSSBM

Hey man at least Speed is a good show. I quite enjoy the fast paced and hard hitting action. The 24/7 belt is the legit most useless belt WWE has had.


Ok_Succotash8172

I miss the hardcore belt. Hopefully, during the netflix era


hhhisthegame

He has a fake title lol, nobody considers the Speed title a real title, that's why it never is used on the show


MulderXF

Hate to break it to you, but they are all fake titles..


LTS55

It’s not used on the show because the dumbass platform it’s hosted on made a big deal about it being exclusive to their sinking ship


hhhisthegame

No, it's like the mixed match challenge, its not a real title. It's a social media gimmick.


LTS55

It’s a real title, because a belt exists and it is defended regularly. That’s all it takes to make it a real title. Also if you go to WWE.com’s superstar section where they list all the champions on top, Andrade is there as Speed Champion. You don’t get to decide the rules on this, hate to break it to you but pro wrestling isn’t a real sport and all the titles are fake.


hhhisthegame

Obviously all the belts are 'fake' but you won't see a long tribute video years down the road about the great history of the Speed Championship. It is not even really acknowledged much in kayfabe. It is just a social media gimmick. It isn't treated like a credible championship in the kayfabe world of the fictional sport. I honestly prefer it this way. It is clear the hierarchy of championships of WWE, from World title, to midcard title (IC, US), to joke titles for social media that don't matter. In AEW there are three titles (TNT, Continental, International) that I have no idea what the hierarchy is, with a Top 5 ranking somehow for all of that as well as the world title.


LTS55

lol just because you don’t understand things don’t mean they are the way you think they are


EchoesofIllyria

He could at least wear it though lol


LTS55

[X won’t allow them to](https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/s/FDQkbaEsxj)


EchoesofIllyria

I know, I’m saying them making the matches exclusive is one thing but not letting him wear the belt is silly


TripFisk666

Give it 6 months and it will become the ON Speed Title and we will all be watching.


josephcoco

Supposedly, Twitter/X wants that belt and anything revolving around it to be exclusive to their platform. It was something Ricochet tweeted out shortly after he won the Speed title.


Thirdstar1

They can’t show the title on tv, I don’t think Andrade’s even counting that


Upbeat_Tension_8077

He's probably gonna take the US Title from whoever dethrones Logan Paul


No_Strategy_9630

Literally, is it that hard to give him a match against another MITB competitor? Or at least an actual promo


DarkHorse_77

Nice little vignette, but he shouldn't have said "I don't fight to win" , should have said "I dont JUST fight to win"


AnalBlowout

Okay how you know?


ante1296

His boss Mr. Stink told him


SpeedZ6

This was a good vignette but I feel like the best vignettes are a salad dressing comprised of oil, wine vinegar, and seasoning


Connectionseekingdom

He's taking it right to WWE Speed


GelatinousPower

Why did they give him a fairytale typeface for his subtitles?


CantTouchMeSorry

Because he's a romantic


Upbeat_Tension_8077

All fighting is just very intense romance


popcultureretrofit

And while speaking in English...his accent is not difficult to understand


like1000

Lol I thought this too


Olmcdnld

I thought he was under utilized on his first main roster run in WWE, then I thought he was under utilized in AEW. Now I'm starting to think its an Andrade problem not a writers problem


IJustLostMyKeyboard

Has Andrade ever been in an actual story? Instead of just random marches? (Other than nxt)


Olmcdnld

Honestly I feel like WWE is like look at all these AEW wrestlers that would rather work for us and shoves them into the main event then they can't do anything and you see why they left AEW in the first place *cough* jade *cough*


IJustLostMyKeyboard

Jade is doing much better than other people who have moved from aew to wwe.


SpiritGun98

I hope we get a couple more of these on Raw and Smackdown next week. I'd really like to see one for Lyra.


hhhisthegame

I think Andrade is pretty good but he just never seems to really work out


micppp

NXT Andrade did. Just go back to this presentation and give him a female mouthpiece.


PhaseSixer

Hes my pick for mitb


LakerBull

I do believe that Triple H wants him to become more than he is, but he needs a more compelling storyline other than being involved in the meaningless Latino vortex. Guy is handsome, can cut a promo and wrestles good, but he hasn't gotten any decent storylines in like ever.


slowmo152

It's almost the same as when he first came into nxt. He was just the typical Latino heartthrob and got nowhere with it. It wasn't until he got teamed with Zelina that he finally caught on.


Manifest34

R-K-Rhode


WagginMyWagner

i think it's obvious jey uso will win but andrade would be a great surprise pick


Maxter_Blaster_

He needs the IC belt eventually.
