Mickie James Furious Over Release of Bray Wyatt

By Trent Osborne Last updated Jul 31, 2021

As we reported earlier today, Bray Wyatt has been released from WWE. The news has come as a shock to not just fans, but current and former employees of the company alike.

One former WWE star that has taken great issue with “The Fiend’s” release is current NWA wrestler Mickie James. The six-time champion took to Twitter to voice her displeasure with not just Wyatt’s release, but the way WWE has handled his ideas as well.

I think what you meant to say was: “Thank you so much for coming up with such an incredible gimmick(time & time again)one so cool & over, we really didn’t know how to book it right. So we just gave it to someone else so we can still make ALL the money off of it & let you go”🤷🏻‍♀️ 🤯 https://t.co/rWVtbxOioA

James followed that tweet up with another, this time putting over the artistic vision of not just Wyatt, but his recent on-screen accomplice Alexa Bliss.

This isn’t against Alexa. I love her. She’s an incredible performer who is killing it in a role she was given. She always does. We as artists take every role we’re given & turn it into gold. He, she, they both did that. Like it/not. Facts are facts. So sorry if that offends you.

Many fans have shared the same frustration as James over social. Of all the great talent WWE has released over the past year and a half, Wyatt’s seems to have had the greatest effect on the world of wrestling.
