WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley has officially cut ties with WWE and hes putting names on it. Just one day after publicly slamming Donald Trump and calling out fellow WWE stars, Foley announced that hes parting ways with the company over its continued relationship with the former president.
The breaking point came in the aftermath of the shocking murder of filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife Michele, who were found stabbed to death in their Los Angeles home over the weekend. As Hollywood and the entertainment world mourned, Donald Trump posted a Truth Social message that stunned even his own supporters. He used the tragedy to mock Reiner, linking his death to so-called Trump Derangement Syndrome.
The backlash was immediate. Musician Jack White tore into Trump, writing:
Foley quickly reposted Whites remarks on Instagram and didnt hold back, directly calling out his peers in WWE.
That was Sunday. On Monday, December 16, Foley took it a step further cutting ties with WWE in a powerful post of his own. Foley confirmed that hes already informed WWE that he will no longer make appearances while Trump remains in power.
But the most definitive part of the announcement came next. Foley revealed he will not renew his Legends contract when it expires next year.
Its a bold and rare move especially from someone whos been so closely tied to the fabric of WWE history. But for Foley, this decision has been building for months and reflects a deeper personal stance against Trumps influence in WWE circles.
Mick Foley didnt just speak out he backed it up with action. And as one of the most respected legends in wrestling history, his absence from WWE going forward is going to be impossible to ignore.
What do you think about Mick Foleys decision to walk away from WWE over Trump? Should other legends follow his lead or keep politics out of it? Sound off in the comments below.
