WWE legend cuts ties with company due to their Trump association

Trump sparks outrage by mocking brutal slaying of critic Rob Reiner
  • WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley has announced that he will not be making any further appearances for WWE while Donald Trump remains president.
  • Foley cited concerns over WWE's continued close relationship with Donald Trump and how his administration has treated immigrants.
  • The 'final straw' for Foley, a former WWE champion in the late 1990s, was the president's 'incredibly cruel comments' following Rob Reiner's death.
  • “I no longer wish to represent a company that coddles a man so seemingly void of compassion as he marches our country towards autocracy,” said the 60-year-old in an Instagram post.
  • He also stated he would not sign a new Legends deal when his current contract expires in June.
  • Foley's decision follows previous comments where he questioned how his WWE colleagues could support Donald Trump.
