    Mick Foley Opens Up About Distancing Himself From WWE

    BANG BANG!

    Former WWE Legend Mick Foley let his legends contract expire on December 16th 2025 after being with the company for over 30 years. He claims he left the company due to their relationship with President Trump.

    He finally opened up about him distancing himself with the company on the June 2nd episode of the Ariel Helwani show.

    “I felt that because I had a Legends deal, and because my name’s been associated with WWE for over 30 years, that I was complicit in my silence”

    “I realized that by giving up two really easy, very high-paying jobs during WrestleMania week with WWE, I’d have to work 24 hours on my own to make what I could have made in six, and I’m okay with that”

    “I made the move that I felt was right for me. I love that company. I’m not going to disparage them. It just didn’t seem like a good fit. It didn’t seem like a fit that would allow me to look at myself in the mirror before I went to bed”

    Foley signed with AEW in May 2026. You can watch the full Mick Foley interview on the Ariel Helwani Show below:

  • Kevin Knight Responds to Criticism of His Open Challenge

    Kevin Knight Responds to Criticism of His Open Challenge

    AEW has announced that Kevin Knight will defend his TNT Championship in an open challenge on Dynamite, which will be live from Asheville, NC.

    Of course, everyone’s least favorite IWC troll has to give his “hot take” in poorly veiled sarcasm.

    JDfromNY wrote on twitter, “Hey guys. This is such an ingenious idea. I’ve never seen it before!! I’m so excited about this brand new concept that could shape the landscape of pro wrestling television for months and years to come!!”

    It’s almost like he has never seen a TV based title defended before in a promotion in his life.

    Luckily, the Jet had a classy response for him, which was simply, “I agree. We appreciate the love.”

    In reality, it’s probably best not to respond to sarcastic comments like this but everyone knows that even though JD says he hates AEW (let’s be real he hates everything), he will still be watching.

    Whoever steps up to this open challenge, it should be a banger. I’m all for more Kevin Knight on TV anyways.
