Tye Dillinger is the latest WWE talent to request their release. He revealed this on his official Twitter account as to “set things straight” before any rumors started to spread.

“This evening, I requested my release from WWE,” wrote Dillinger. “In the past 5 and a half years with them, I have seen and done some wonderful things. Things that I am very proud of and will never forget. I have met and have worked with unquestionably, some of the greatest talent on this earth and the pleasure has been all mine.”

He went on to explain his reasoning for the release. “I feel at this time this decision, as extremely difficult as it was, is what is best for myself and WWE. I wish to continue to grow as a performer and offer those paying hard earned money to watch a show I’m performing on, a little more of myself.”

Dillinger then explained that he has respect for his employer. “To the male and female locker rooms, coaches and producers, to the production/ring crew, all the way up to the very top of WWE and most of all the fans … I wish you all the very best and thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything.”
