His debut (under the name Junior in 1994 was against El Maniatico (currently wrestling on DIW Dungeon) in his hometown of Tijuana. After his debut match, he teamed up with El Maniatico in the following months until Maniatico turned on him, leading to a Mask vs. Mask match, which Andre won (although Maniatico would start wearing his mask years later). He also occasionally matched up against his cousin, Rey Mysterio.

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.
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.
