No less than four Lucha Underground wrestlers have been granted their release from the company after filing a lawsuit over their current contracts.
Joey Ryan, El Hijo del Fantasma (King Cuerno), Ivelisse, and Thunder Rosa (Kobra Moon), are the names who have been allowed out of their deals. All of those mentioned have been involved in a class action lawsuit against Baba-G Productions and the El Rey Network and have become free agents as part of the settlement.
The class action suit mentioned above and Fantasma's separate lawsuit have also been dropped as part of the agreement.
All four wrestlers have commented on their respective releases, with Joey Ryan tweeting the following: "It's official.
"I am now a free agent. Free from any contracts. Free from any bosses. Free from any restrictions. The last few years of my career haven't been without highlights (being featured in many major media outlets, becoming a top seller on Pro Wrestling Tees, shocking the world at All In, Main Evening the Cow Palace, a role on GLOW, the growth of Bar Wrestling) but now it honestly feels like I have a new lease on my direction and where I'm going in pro wrestling.
"Most of my accomplishments have been fan driven due to the overwhelming support I have received so I justed wanted to take a moment to thank all the fans who have accompanied me on this journey so far and hope you will continue on the adventure."
