Sin Cara has become the 6th WWE Superstar to ask for his release this year! The former NXT Tag Team champion tweeted out a statement earlier today and revealed that he made the decision last night.
His statement towards the end read: ”Last night, after praying and considering, thinking about the future of my children, I made one of the most difficult yet sensible decisions in my wrestling career. I have requested my release from WWE."

John Cena hints at his WrestleMania 36 opponent
Randy Orton challenged John Cena for a match at WrestleMania 36, and now it looks like the 16-time WWE Champion is up for it! The leader of Cenation has revealed that he will be a part of WrestleMania, but does not decide the matches.
Speaking to Sports Illustrated, he said:
"I wasn’t even aware of that. I never make the matches, I’m just grateful to be able to perform in WWE. Every day away from it, I miss it more and more and more. I’m becoming more honest with myself about how much I miss it. I’m very eager to get back into a WWE ring soon.”
“And on the subject of WrestleMania, I can tell you this—I haven’t missed a WrestleMania since my first appearance at WrestleMania 19, and I do not plan to miss a WrestleMania for decades to come.”
Cena did not have a match at WrestleMania 35, but he appeared in a segment with Elias.
