Cain Velasquez has been released by WWE.
While the promotion is yet to officially confirm the news itself, Dave Meltzer broke the story on this morning's episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, stating that the former UFC Heavyweight Champion was likely let go because of the big-money contract he signed with the promotion in 2019.
Velasquez hasn't wrestled since losing a WWE Championship match with old MMA rival Brock Lesnar at Super ShowDown on 31 October 2019. Though he'd spent time training at the Performance Center after that, Meltzer reports that he hadn't heard of Cain working out in Orlando anytime recently.
It isn't clear if Cain was let go as part of 15 April's Black Wednesday cuts or if this is a new release.
