According to Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp, the Mexican wrestler himself gave him the news. Sapp said he’s unlikely to release the full interview with Andrade due to language barrier issues. However, Andrade’s comments validate the May 2019 rumours suggesting WWE officials had asked him to brush up on his spoken English.
