Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.

5) WWE Superstar Asks For Release (Part 1)

According to a report from Mas Lucha, Gran Metalik has asked for his release from WWE.

Here is what the site wrote:

My Take:

The Mexican wrestler Gran Metalik, who in Mexico we knew as Golden Mask, has asked the North American company WWE to release his contract due to lack of opportunities and a clear project within its ranks; This was confirmed to Más Lucha by sources close to the masked man from Guadalajara, who made his debut in the RAW brand in 2017.

  • Hard to blame him. He hasn’t been booked as anything more than a joke for years now.

4) WWE Superstar Asks For Release (Part 2)

On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that he thinks WWE will grant the release request of Gran Metalik.

Here is what Meltzer said:

I think there’s a good chance that they’ll release him because their mentality is different. In 2019 it would have been much different because they wouldn’t want him to go.

My Take:

  • Metalik is a talented dude but I don’t think WWE sees much in him.
