In a post across his various social media accounts, WWE Hall of Famer and multiple-time world champion Mick Foley announced he will soon be parting ways with the WWE.
The hardcore legend, who has been a frequent critic of current US president Donald Trump and his association with the WWE, has drawn a line in the sand following Trump’s disgusting comments on the tragic death of American director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele.
PARTING WAYS WITH WWE
While I have been concerned about WWE‘s close relationship with Donald Trump for several months — especially in light of his administration’s ongoing cruel and inhumane treatment of immigrants (and pretty much anyone who “looks like an immigrant”) — reading the President’s incredibly cruel comments in the wake of Rob Reiner’s death is the final straw for me.
I no longer wish to represent a company that coddles a man so seemingly void of compassion as he marches our country towards autocracy. Last night, I informed @WWE talent relations that I would not be making any appearances for the company as long as this man remains in office. Additionally, I will not be signing a new Legends deal when my current one expires in June. I love WWE, will always treasure my time with them, and I am deeply appreciative for all the opportunities they afforded me. But, in the words of Popeye the sailor, “I stands all I can stands, and I can’t stands no more.”
When his Legends contract expires in June of 2026, Foley states he won’t be signing a new one, bringing an end to one of wrestling’s most authentic figures’ long tenure with the WWE.
