WWE's Andrade Reunites with Zelina Vega and Joins Forces with LWO at WrestleMania

Tonight's WWE SmackDown featured some last-minute implications for WrestleMania 40, including a major change to a previously revealed match on the card. Earlier in the episode, it was revealed that Dragon Lee had been viciously attacked backstage, and later in the night the two groups would collide in the ring. Santos Escobar brought Andrade and Dominik Mysterio with him to the ring alongside Elektra Lopez, and they would attack Rey Mysterio and Zelina Vega after Lopez and Vega had their match. Andrade would then shock everyone and turn on Santos and Legado Del Fantasma, aligning himself with The LWO and reuniting with Vega, and this would lead to a match at WrestleMania for Andrade.

After Dominik, Lopez, and Escobar seemed to have things in their favor, and Dominik told Andrade to attack Rey. Andrade went to pull off his jacket and Dominik got in his face, and that's when Andrade hit Dominik with a clothesline and then kicked Santos in the face, knocking him away from Rey. 

Andrade then hit Santos with a host of strikes before throwing him to the floor and clearing the ring. Andrade then went to shake Rey's hand but pulled him in for a hug instead. Then Andrade and Vega hugged before Andrade held up their arms in celebration, and later in the night it was revealed that this would also have an effect on the plans for Rey at WrestleMania 40.

Backstage Rey, Andrade, and Zelina met up and Andrade offered to step in for the hurt Dragon Lee, and the two shook hands. Carlito came to let them know Lee was out of commission, but Rey revealed the good news. Now the match has been made official, and you can find the fully updated card for WrestleMania 40 below.
