Last week WWE released a total of 10 talents, and one of them happened to be veteran WWE Superstar Mickie James. Recently Mickie James was trending on Twitter after she tagged Vince McMahon in a tweet which also featured a picture showing that WWE had sent her belongings to her in a trash bag.
Triple H later took to Twitter to say that the employee behind the disrespectful treatment had been fired, and it was later reported that the company fired Senior Director of Talent Relations Mark Carrano.
The trash bag debacle and the firing certainly got the wrestling world talking, and CM Punk responded to Triple H’s tweet when he reacted with the “if you say so” gif.

Former WWE Women’s Champion Gail Kim also chimed in when she noted that the disrespectful treatment has been going on since before she joined the company. Kim also agreed with a fan who said that the culture at WWE needs to change.
Well I’m glad Hunter took initiative but it’s been happening since before I was there. Is it always the same person? At least they did something I suppose 🤷🏻♀️ https://t.co/lrTXx4gGay

Well we will never know. I definitely believe it’s been many people over the years and if someone was fired it was the person who was sacrificed. If it changes things from this point on, at least it’s something. https://t.co/KvpwCSgN4m

Correct. Change the system and culture. Don’t blame and fire. That solves nothing. https://t.co/RZAkiWY2sM

Well in that case, every girl that worked there for the past ten years plus should get an apology https://t.co/84LpFtIjHA

Former WWE star Jillian Hall also took to Twitter to say that she blamed the wrong person when she received a trash bag of ring gear over 10 years ago.
