WWE may have parted ways with Luis Ignascio Urive Alvirde, the real Sin Cara, on Monday by informing him just a few hours before RAW. We're still waiting on confirmation of his departure.

Hunico will be working as Sin Cara going forward but may not be behind the mask permanently as there's already talk of bringing someone up from NXT to play the character.

WWE chose not to kill off the Sin Cara character completely because his merchandise has done well and there's a feeling that they have built up a character that pays into the colorful personality of WWE. The feeling is that the character didn't fail but the performer who played the character failed

.

 

 

So they basically own "him"?

They own 'Sin Cara' which they invented when the character debuted, yes.

He was Mistico in Mexico. 

They own most of the roster's characters.

 

So if Sin Cara is totally separated from M?stico, he can just back to his previous gimmick.

I wonder who gets likeness rights from the WWE games in this case.

WWE does. They own the character. 

Basically, if they changed the persons name when they came in, they own it.

Remember fake Diesel and Razor Ramon?

This week's final WWE Raw rating was a 2.65, which is down from the 2.93 rating the show took in last week. As we noted earlier, Raw averaged 3.541 million viewers this week, also down from 4.135 million the show took in last week.

 
This rating ties the lowest number of the year, as the 10/7 Raw, following the debut Battleground PPV, finished with a 2.65.

WWE has issued the following statement to ProWrestling.net regarding Sin Cara's status with the company:

 
"The original performer behind the Sin Cara mask remains under contract to WWE.  WWE will continue to invest in the character and retain it as part of WWE programming."
