Dave Meltzer of WrestlingObserver.com reported on the latest episode of his podcast that Austin Aries was in fact released by WWE.  He did not asked to be released from his contract, but was happy when he was.

Aries had not been happy with his role in WWE and according to Meltzer was not happy that his match with Neville for the Cruiserweight Title was not included on the WrestleMania 33 DVD and he was vocal about his displeasure about that and how the Cruiserweights were being used.

He is now being paid for 90 days, per the standard WWE contract.

It should be noted that the same site tweeted three days ago that Aries had asked for his release.
