Sin Cara Says He’d ‘Love’ To Return To WWE

Sin Cara is leaving the door open for a return to WWE, saying he would jump at the chance to bring the masked character back if the company came calling.

Speaking on TMZ’s Inside the Ring, the former WWE star reflected on how much his perspective has shifted since he left the promotion. “I think I’ve gotten more mature now,” he said. “When you’re younger, you do a lot of decisions for your emotions. I get that as you get older, as your kids get older and you’re in time, you’re out of that big monster, you realize a lot of things. For me, I wouldn’t mind coming back.”

Asked directly about reprising the role, he didn’t hesitate. “If they would ask me or we would talk, ‘Hey, you want to portray Sin Cara again?’ I would love to do that definitely again and give it another shot.”

Sin Cara’s WWE exit was anything but quiet. On November 11, 2019, he publicly requested his release, saying he felt “stuck” and undervalued as both an athlete and a performer. WWE granted that request the following month, closing the book on a run that included multiple stints in the company dating back to his high-profile 2011 debut, when he was pushed as a top merchandise-mover under a mystery-man aesthetic borrowed from Mexican lucha libre tradition.

Nearly seven years removed from that departure, Sin Cara is careful not to overstate where things stand. He hasn’t announced any actual talks or plans, but he acknowledged the idea lingers. “Maybe this time that opportunity can come, you know, but I don’t know. Only God has that answer. The other thing that I can do is keep preparing myself to continue doing what I love, which is wrestling.” He added that the what-ifs do cross his mind: “It’s something that I really think about sometimes in my head. Like, what if this and what if that happen? And in wrestling, anything is possible. You understand that?”

Beyond his own future, Sin Cara used the platform to advocate for more opportunities for Mexican and Latino talent industry-wide, framing his own comments as part of a broader ask. “All I ask is an opportunity. All I ask for the new generation is an opportunity for the Mexican kids or Latino kids to showcase their talent. That’s all we’ve asked all this time. And hopefully that time has come now.”

A Sin Cara return would be notable given WWE’s current mask-wearing landscape, which has thinned out considerably since his 2019 exit outside of occasional lucha-influenced acts. Whether this amounts to anything more than a wistful interview remains to be seen, but with WWE’s continued push into Mexico and Latin American markets through events and partnerships, the timing of his comments is hard to ignore. For now, it’s just a former star saying the door isn’t closed on his end — the next move, if there is one, belongs to WWE.
