The divorce between Andrade and Charlotte Flair came out of nowhere when it was announced. For months, the rumor mill has been spinning out of control regarding the split between the former AEW & WWE star and WWE’s most decorated female athlete. Now, Andrade is stepping up to the microphone, not to cut a promo, but to take the heat for why the marriage failed.
Andrade Takes Full Responsibility For Divorce
In a recent sit-down with WrestleBinge, the Mexican superstar didn’t try to spin the narrative or blame “creative differences” for his divorce. He didn’t blame the grueling travel schedules or the pressure of the spotlight.
“It was my fault,” Andrade admitted, stripping away the kayfabe that usually protects wrestlers’ egos. “She didn’t lose me I lost her. I did something, or maybe I didn’t do something.”
It’s a rare moment of vulnerability from a guy whose entire persona is built on swagger and arrogance. He went on to heap praise on Flair, calling her an “amazing woman” and an “amazing wife.”
Shutting Down the Social Media Trolls
Social media has not been kind to Charlotte Flair when it comes to her personal life. The internet wrestling community loves a running gag, and Flair’s marital history has been the punchline of cheap jokes for years, even bleeding into on-screen promos, like the jab from Tiffany Stratton regarding Flair’s divorces being 0-3.
Andrade isn’t having it with the divorce taunts. Despite the split, he went on the defensive regarding the online narrative surrounding his ex-wife.”People talk on Twitter and Instagram and everywhere,” he said, clearly frustrated by the noise. “But it’s like, hey, I know she’s been married a couple of times, but I’m a man, and I respect her, and I wish her nothing but the best.”
It’s a classy move in an era where exes often leak damaging stories to gain sympathy or clout in the aftermath of their divorce. He is actively trying to shield her from the fallout of his own admitted mistakes.
Did Charlotte Influence His WWE Release?
Of course, you can’t talk about a wrestling breakup without talking about the business. When Andrade left WWE in September, the timing seemed suspicious to outsiders. Was it awkwardness in the locker room? Did the Queen pull some strings to get him out of Stamford?
According to Andrade, absolutely not. He was quick to squash any speculation that Flair used her significant political capital to impact his employment status.
“People ask if she had something to do with my leaving WWE, she didn’t,” he clarified. “She never went to management to get me fired or anything like that.”
He noted that his return to WWE under Triple H started well, but personal issues mounted after Flair suffered her injury. When the work stopped and the travel slowed down, the relationship problems took center stage.
Moving Forward In & Out Of the Ring
So, where does this leave everyone post-divorce? Charlotte Flair is back to business, hunting for tag team gold with Alexa Bliss and continuing to cement her legacy. She’s doing what she does best: working.
Meanwhile, Andrade is navigating his own path. There were whispers—later shot down by Dave Meltzer that he was eyeing a massive four-way match involving El Hijo del Vikingo and others for a AAA show, but it seems those were just pipe dreams. He will be in AEW once he is cleared legally.
Final Thoughts
At the end of the day, this split reminds us that behind the pyro and the entrance music, these are just real people dealing with real heartbreak. And for once, it’s nice to see someone act like an adult about it.
