Last Match: vs. Angel Garza and Humberto Carrillo (with Lince Dorado; 16 September 2021 Main Event)

Lucha House Party member Gran Metalik reportedly requested his release from WWE this past September. The flyer was frustrated by a "lack of opportunities" the company were throwing his way, and he wanted to test himself in other promotions.

Now, Metalik has his wish.

Fans shouldn't be too upset for the masked man then - he wanted out of WWE, and they refused to stand in his way. If nothing else, he'll find work in AEW, Impact, New Japan, ROH or somewhere like that. Metalik might not come alone either...
