It’s been a rough year for the WWE roster as the company has released over 80 talents so far, and there’s no reason to believe that the releases are going to end anytime soon.
Taya Valkyrie, formerly known as Frankie Monet in NXT, was one of the talents who happened to get released this year, and it was confirmed this week that the company also released her husband John Morrison. After news of Morrison’s release broke Valkyrie encouraged fans to stop supporting WWE when she posted the following on Twitter:
“Stop supporting a company that has ZERO respect for their talent. You love pro wrestling, spend your money on the hundreds of other alternatives. This is wrong. Ethically, as employers they don’t care about us. Talent or fans.”

A fan then questioned why she was lashing out at WWE, and she followed up with another tweet explaining why she thinks her feelings are justified.
“My husband got fired. This is why I’m saying this. I’m speaking my truth. I’m sick and tired of ppl treating us like s**t. In two weeks we lost both our incomes. Before the holidays, I’m allowed to feel how I do.”
