We have another name to add to the Superstars released by WWE this month and this is a big one – Cain Velasquez has officially been released from his contract.

Velasquez’s only WWE match so far came at WWE Crown Jewel where he faced Brock Lesnar and was handily defeated by his former UFC rival. Velasquez then went out of action to get knee surgery.

Both AAA and All Elite Wrestling were reportedly interested in signing Velasquez when he signed a lucrative contract with WWE.

The news was broken by Dave Meltzer on the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio. Meltzer added that Velasquez hasn’t been seen training in the Performance Center for a while. We will have further details when available.

WWE Hall of Famer Gerald Brisco has also reportedly been released by WWE.
