In a surpassing development, Austin Aries has been released from his WWE contract. On Friday night, it was announced by WWE that the company has “come to terms on the release of WWE Superstar Austin Aries. WWE wishes Aries the best in all of his future endeavors.” The news was a surprise to fans who were originally expecting the WWE cruiserweight at the WWE Supershow at Madison Square Garden on Friday night. That is until it was announced fellow cruiserweight Cedric Alexander would replace him at the RAW-dominant show.

Aries’ departure comes as his girlfriend, Thea Trinidad, made her NXT debut a few weeks ago with Adrade “Cien” Almas.

There were no immediate signs that would have lead anyone to believe Aries was about to be release, but he did tweet the following on Friday.

It's a beautiful day.

Aries’ release comes several weeks after he was on the losing end of a feud against WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville, including a match at WrestleMania earlier this year. Aries appears to be happy about the release (perhaps he even requested it), and there’s no doubt he will have no trouble finding work and making good money on the independent circuit.
