[edit] Relationship with Kimberly Persia
Kimberly Persia was a contestant in the 2004 RAW Diva Search. In one of the Diva Search contests, Andre Rubio hosted an ASSault course on SmackDown!. After Kimberly's round on the course, she shared on an on-screen kiss with Andre. After that night, the two had an off-screen relationship which is still going on today. Andre is also responsible for Kimberly's contract with WWE, after Andre convinced the board of WWE to take her on.
[edit] World Championship Chase (2005)
Andre was caught in the rivalry between Triple H and Eddie Guerrero, in which he was called out by Triple H only to be brutally attacked with a sledgehammer. After Triple H defeated Eddie Guerrero at No Mercy, Andre Rubio interupted a victory celebration party held by Triple H on SmackDown!. He proceeded to attack Triple H, and challenged him to a match later that night. Andre defeated Triple H by roll-up, and challenged Triple H to a World Heavyweight title match at Armageddon. Triple H defeated Andre Rubio due to interference for Ric Flair. A month later at the Royal Rumble, Andre challenged to another World Title match with the stipulation of if Andre lost, he would be forced to remove his mask. After being defeated, Andre removed his mask.
[edit] Long-Term feud with Triple H
Andre returned to normal competition, challenging for the U.S. Championship and going against Shannon Moore, Shelton Benjamin and Chris Jericho. He never managed to win the U.S. Title however. On the Jan. 15 edition of SmackDown!, after his match with Scott Steiner, Andre was run over by a black Mercedez in the parking lot, keeping him out of action for weeks until after No Way Out (in reality, Andre was dealing with the birth of his new child). When he returned to SmackDown! (with Kim Persia), he aimed to found out who ran him down. A CCTV tape was shown of the driver's face close up, and the driver appeared to be wearing Rey Mysterio's trademark mask. Immediately after the clip was shown, Rey Mysterio stormed to the ring, pleading to Andre that it was not him. Andre reacted with a swift punch, leading to a match the following week between he two. During the match, Andre was dominating until then World Champion Triple H stormed through the fans and attacked both Rey and Andre with a sledgehammer and a pedigree, revealing himself as the actual driver. A Triple Threat match was announced for WrestleMania (which was an outside arena) between Andre Rubio, Rey Mysterio and World champion Triple H with the title on the line. Rey Mysterio was pulled from the match, however, due to a rib injury. Andre Rubio defeated Triple H at WrestleMania to win his first World championship. Triple H exercised his rematch clause one month later at Backlash, taking on Andre Rubio for the World Heavyweight title in a Hell in a Cell match. The match ended with Andre executing a diving cross body from the top of the cell, while Triple H was standing on the announce table, which led to Andre crashing into Triple H through the table. Andre defeated Triple H and this ended the rivalry.
[edit] ECW (2006)
Andre left SmackDown! after losing his last championship reign to Undertaker, and jumped to the returning ECW. With his jump to ECW, he changed his whole attitude, referring to himself as the "Mexican Gangsta" and using his real name. He quickly won the ECW Championship in a one-on-one match against Sabu at One Night Stand. His reign as ECW Champion would not last forever, however, as he lost the title to the Sandman once month later at SummerSlam.
[edit] WWE RAW
At the 2006 draft, Andre was drafted to RAW. He gained fame on RAW, winning the World Tag titles with Eddie Guerrero, the Intercontinental title, and winning the WWE Title on many occasions. Andre left WWE near the end of 2006.
[edit] Nu Wrestling Evolution(September 2006-2007)
Andre Rubio signed with the NWE. He managed to capture the NWE Championship once, and the NWE Hardcore Championship.
[edit] Feud with Stevi T
During the battle between EWE and NWE, Andre engaged in a feud with Stevi T (who was with EWE at the time). It began at a Brawl Series press conference, when Stevi T announced his involvement in the Brawl Series cross-branded 6 man tag match. He then went on to disrespect Andre Rubio (a participant in the 6-man tag match) and Eddie Guerrero (who had died in the year 2005). Andre immediately attacked Stevi, and they engaged in a brawl at the conference.
Stevi and Andre squared off in many matches, including TLC matches, Steel Cage, Hardcore, Ladders, and even a Hair vs. Hair match (which resulted in a draw). They had their final match at EWE's BrawlMania, when Stevi T defeated Andre Rubio in a Hell in a Cell match. The Stevi/ Andre rivalry was voted best rivalry of the year in NWE and EWE.
[edit] LAX and feud with DX
After his 6-month long rivalry with Stevi T, Andre returned to NWE action, teaming up with his cousin Rey Mysterio and even making it to the tag titles. Two weeks before Freaky Friday, Andre and Rey defended their NWE Tag Titles against the Bashman and Damaja. During the tag match, Homicide and Hernandez of the LAX stormed to the ring and attacked Rey Mysterio, costing them the match and enabling Bashman and Damaja to become the new tag champions. At the week before the CPV, Rey was attacked backstage by LAX, leaving Andre to challenge for the titles alone against the champions, which he lost. At Freaky Friday, LAX took on the team of Andre Rubio and Rey Mysterio. During the match, Rey Mysterio was looking to execute the 619, but Andre smashed a chair into his back from outside whilst he was bouncing off the ropes. LAX scored the victory, and Andre attacked Rey Mysterio after the match along with LAX, signifying his new membership of LAX.
Andre returned to his "gangster" heel gimmick a week later on NWE, along with his team LAX. Later that night, LAX attacked Rey Mysterio during his match against Sandman. This lead to a one-on-one match between Mysterio and Rubio the following week, with LAX barred from ringside. In the middle of the match, LAX proceeded to attack Rey Mysterio, but Mysterio saw it coming and stormed out the ring. A few seconds later, green gung poured down on all 3 members of LAX. On the following week, LAX were backstage in the locker room getting ready for their 6-man tag match against Rey Mysterio and the B.O.D. Andre put on his trademark "LAX" shirt, and as he turned around the shirt had "DX" spray-painted on it. As LAX stood waiting in the ring for Mysterio's arrival, DX's theme played throughout the arena, and Shawn Michaels, Triple H and Mysterio stormed to the ring, taking out all LAX members. DX and LAX had many bouts at the CPVs, but it all came to ahead at Blood Sport, when the two members of DX took on all 3 members of LAX (this was due to X-Pac joining nWo few months back). Also, following Chyna's return the previous week, Chyna also took on Kimberly Persia at the CPV in a Bald or Beautiful match (hair vs. hair). All members of LAX defeated the members of DX that night, with Chyna having to cut her hair short.
LAX continued for a few months until Homicide and Hernandez were released from NWE. Andre returned to his normal gimmick, and reclaimed his staus as a heel. Shortly after the split, Andre left NWE.
