- As seen Monday night onRaw, the Sin Cara character returned to WWE airwaves with a victory over former WWE and World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio. The character, however, was portrayed by Jorge "Hunico" Arias, as opposed to the original performer (Luis Ignascio Urive Alvirde, who indicated via Twitter immediately following the bout that he was in Mexico). A WWE spokesperson addressed the status of the character in a message to wrestling news outlets on Thursday.
"The original performer behind the Sin Cara mask remains undercontract to WWE," the statement reads. "WWE will continue toinvest in the character and retain it as part of WWE programming."
