Sin Cara is a professional wrestling character used by WWE, originally portrayed by Luis Urive and currently by Jorge Arias, formerly known as Hunico.
Spanish for "Faceless", Sin Cara wears a lucha libre-style mask that completely covers his face. This is in stark contrast to other luchadors who would at least have eye sockets and a mouth area open. Additionally, the lights at ringside previously dimmed to a blue and yellow shade during the character's matches.
Arias's portrayal of Sin Cara is bilingual due to Jorge Arias having grown up in the United States near the Mexico–United States border, and thus speaks either Spanish or English, depending on the intended audience. However, Urive legitimately does not know English, and during his time in WWE often required a translator during interviews and media appearances.
Urive wrestled as Sin Cara in WWE from 2011–2013, while Arias wrestled as Sin Cara in WWE briefly in 2011 during a feud with Urive, and has since been portraying the character subsequently after Urive's departure from WWE in 2013.
On January 30, 2011 SuperLuchas Magazine confirmed that Mexican star Luis Urive (Místico) had signed a contract with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). On February 24, WWE held a press conference in Mexico City to introduce Urive under his new name, Sin Cara. On March 25, Sin Cara made his WWE debut at a Raw live event at Assembly Hall in Champaign, Illinois, defeating Primo in a singles match. On the April 4 episode of Raw, Sin Cara debuted, saving Daniel Bryan from an attack by then United States Champion Sheamus, and establishing himself as a face. On that week's SmackDown, Sin Cara similarly appeared, this time attacking Jack Swagger and cementing his face status. Sin Cara made his televised in-ring debut on April 11, defeating Primo. The next week in London, Sin Cara teamed with John Cena to defeat the then WWE Champion, The Miz and Alex Riley.
