Throughout 2025 there have been a number of notable WWE departures and now it looks like a former WWE Champion has decided to part ways with World Wrestling Entertainment.
Today Mick Foley announced that he is parting ways with WWE, and has informed talent relations that he will no longer be making appearances for the company. Foley also confirmed that he will not be signing a new Legends deal when his current deal expires in June. The Hall of Famer posted the following statement on social media:
“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.”
