Report: Sin Cara requests WWE release

Sin Cara took to his official Twitter page that he is looking to be released from his WWE contract. While he goes on to state his gratitude with his tenure with the company, he expressed that the WWE has “undervalued” his position as a performer.

Although he’s been featured on Monday Night Raw on a more prominent basis compared to his prior years before, Raw superstar Sin Cara, formerly known as Hunico, has recently asked for his release from the company. Word of this got out when Sin Cara confirmed on his official Twitter account that he’s been dissatisfied with how he’s been utilized in the WWE, specifically feeling that the company has undervalued him. However despite this, Sin Cara went on express how grateful he was over the career he’s been given in the WWE.

“I am so grateful for the opportunity they gave me, however, I realized that I am stuck in a place where I am not valued as an athlete or talent,” Sin Cara stated (via Twitter).

“I have worked hard and honestly for many years to polish my trade, I have been loyal, respectful, a team player, support and I have patiently waited for the opportunity to show the world everything I can do. Unfortunately, after all these years, that opportunity never came or I feel that it will ever come while I remain where I am.”

While it’s unknown at this time if WWE will in fact grant his release or not, it’s worth mentioning that numerous disgruntled WWE superstars such as Luke Harper and Mike Kanellis has asked for their releases. Some wrestlers like Tye Dillinger, for instance, were able to have their released granted. However, wrestlers like Luke Harper continued to wrestle for WWE despite wanting out of their contracts.

Because of this, some may be under the impression that Sin Cara will most likely stay with WWE until his contract eventually expires. And despite the fact that Sin Cara has been a lower-card performer for most of his tenure, WWE may feel that he’s still in asset in terms of signing all the talent they want in order to stay the No. 1 wrestling promotion in the world.

With competition from All Elite Wrestling heating up in terms of signing talent, it’s understandable to see why WWE is attempting to lock all the talent they can possibly get. There’s a reason why not many superstars over the years have been released except for controversial instances. Now that WWE has made more money over the past few years on lucrative TV deals and the WWE Network, the company can afford to employ much more talent than what they already need.

If WWE really feels that Sin Cara isn’t much of an asset to the company, will the higher-ups eventually release him, or will he be forced to stick around until his contract expires?
