El Paso superstar wrestler Sin Cara wants to be released from WWE contract
EL PASO, Texas -- El Paso native professional wrestling superstar Jorge Arias asked Monday to be released from his contract with WWE, where he performs on the Raw brand under the ring name Sin Cara.
Arias said that while he's "so grateful for the opportunity" he received with WWE, he now believes he's "stuck in a place where I am not valued as an athlete or talent."
But Arias told his fans even though he wants to leave the WWE, he intends to continue his pro wrestling career.
“The best years of my pro career in lucha libre are still ahead of me and i think the best is yet to come!” he said in a statement.
Arias debuted on WWE’s main roster in 2011 as Sin Cara, temporarily replacing the original performer of the character Luis Urive. Arias subsequently began wrestling unmasked under the ring name Hunico, often in tag team competition alongside Camacho.
In 2013, after the release of Urive, Arias reprised his role as Sin Cara and has since performed as the character. In contrast to Urive, Arias is the longest-tenured performer to portray Sin Cara, and his portrayal of the character is bilingual.
