Despite the loss, Paul Heyman (WWE RAW Executive Director) decided to not take away the title from Andrade. According to Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer, Heyman did not think Carrillo was ready to become the United States Champion. It is also believed that Monday Night RAW results were scripted to allow Andrade to serve his suspension. While the champion may have experienced a temporary setback on the professional front, he is flying high on the personal front after his engagement to Charlotte Flair. The WWE Diva won the Royal Rumble on Sunday.
