Andrade and Zelina Vega had quite a bumpy ride during the Superstar Shakeup. They were on Smackdown Live prior to the Wrestlemania 35 season whom WWE sent to Raw roster during the Superstar Shakeup. But just the following week, these two were back on the blue brand that raised a few eyebrows. This might have happened over personal reasons as we have reported earlier. Additionally, WWE may have some Money in the Bank plans around him.

Charlotte Flair is in a real-life relationship with this superstar who may have specially requested to get her man back on Smackdown Live. Additionally, WWE also wanted to keep another real-life married couple of Zelina Vega and Aleister Black on the same side. But there are far bigger reasons as to why the officials have moved Andrade back in Smackdown brand.
It may have been a business-oriented decision as reported by PWInsider.com. The Fox network may have wanted Andrade on Smackdown due to the following reasons, (courtesy wwfoldschool.com)
“According to PWInsider, FOX officials requested WWE to move Andrade & Zelina to SmackDown because SmackDown lacked Latino stars after the Superstar Shake-Up and FOX is planning to showcase WWE’s Latino stars on their Spanish language station, FOX Deportes, once SmackDown moves to their Network in October.”
The Dirty Sheets added that WWE officials are keen on pleasing the FOX officials specifically after their poor financial report in the bygone quarter. Since FOX is heavy on the Mexican Superstar, a championship push seems evident for Andrade. This will land him straight into the main event title picture.
The original plan for Andrade was to win the Intercontinental Championship first and then go onto the WWE title picture. But since Fox officials are high on him, WWE may take a reverse route. This makes the El-Idolo the current favorite to win the Money in the Bank ladder match.
As per the current updates, WWE officials have begun discussing the possibility of Andrade winning the Men’s Money In The Bank 2019 ladder match. It will eventually make him the new WWE Champion in the near future. Drew McIntyre is no more the favorite name to win the match as hinted in the reports.
