Andrade’s Family Didn’t Inform Him of His Mom’s Death Until After WWE Event

TLDR

Andrade revealed in a January 26, 2026 interview that his family did not inform him of his mother's death while he was in Saudi Arabia for a WWE event, with his family only asking him to come to Torreón when he returned without explaining why. Andrade chose not to check his phone during the trip to avoid emotional distraction during his match, only learning of his mother's passing when he landed back in the U.S. and turned on his phone while going through immigration. He arrived in San Francisco on Saturday afternoon after his mother had passed away Friday, asking his family to delay the burial so he could attend, but said the hardest part was never getting to say goodbye.
