WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes just tweeted saying he's requested his release from the company.

The wrestler -- who currently portrays the Stardust character -- tweeted from his personal account Saturday morning saying, "The past ten years have been quite the trek, but as of earlier today I have asked for my release from WWE."

Cody adds, "I'll speak further on the matter shortly. Thank you to all the pro-wrestling/sports entertainment fans worldwide. Thank you."

No word at this time from our sources on what may have caused him to ask for his release, but the wrestler had recently been teasing that he may be dropping the Stardust gimmick.

His wife -- WWE announcer Eden Rhodes -- tweeted shortly after saying, "Could not be any prouder or more supportive."
