After publicly asking for his release from the company last month, WWE have finally come to the terms of and have granted Sin Cara his exit out.

As readers may recall, it was last month that Sin Cara publicly asked for his release from the WWE via Twitter. It was reported there after by PWInsider that WWE had no plans to let Sin Cara go so easily and would deny his release request. One month later, it appears as though WWE has had second thoughts.

In a new report coming straight from WWE themselves, the company has officially come to terms with the release of Sin Cara and he is now gone from the company.

Real name Jorge Arias, the man first signed to WWE back in 2009. After spending some time in developmental, he was called up to SmackDown in 2011 to temporarily replace the original man behind the Sin Cara mask (now wrestling in CMLL as Caristico) after he was suspended for 30 days for violating the wellness program.

After Caristico returned, the two Sin Caras feuded onscreen respectfully as Sin Cara Negro (Arias) and Sin Cara Azul. Arias, as Sin Cara Negro, defeated the original Sin Cara at the 2011 Hell in a Cell Pay-Per-View, but on the Oct. 16 episode of SmackDown shortly after, filmed in Mexico City, Arias was unmasked.

Arias then adopted the character of Hunico and frequently tagged with Camacho (better known today in NJPW as Tanga Loa, one-half of the Guerrillas of Destiny). This lasted until late 2013 when Arias donned the Sin Cara mask again, this time permanently after Caristico was released.

Success followed Arias afterwards, most notably with an NXT Tag Team Championship run, followed by main roster feuds with The Usos and The New Day. In due time, his stock diminished to the point he was typically on the used to lose matches onscreen.

His final onscreen match was a Nov. 8 loss to Drew McIntyre on Raw, while his final WWE match was a house show loss to Andrade four days later.

Wherever Arias goes next with his career, we wish him the best in the future and, hopefully, he’s happier out of WWE than he was in it.
