Mick Foley Parting Ways With WWE For Their Continued Association With Donald Trump

Mick Foley is once again making headlines — but this time, it has nothing to do with hardcore matches or surprise WWE appearances.

The WWE Hall of Famer announced this week on Facebook that he is officially stepping away from WWE, citing the company’s ongoing association with former President Donald Trump as the deciding factor. Foley shared the news in a lengthy and emotional Facebook post, making it clear that this was not a sudden decision, but one that had been weighing on him for months.

Foley has been openly critical of Trump for years, most notably last October when he released a video directly addressing the president and condemning his stance on immigration. At the time, some fans questioned how Foley could be so outspoken while still maintaining a working relationship with WWE — a company that has strengthened its ties to Trump in recent years. According to Foley, that internal conflict has now reached a breaking point.

In his statement, Foley expressed deep concern over what he described as the administration’s “cruel and inhumane” treatment of immigrants, adding that recent comments made by Trump following the death of filmmaker Rob Reiner were the final straw. Foley said he could no longer represent a company that continues to align itself with someone he believes lacks compassion and is pushing the country in a dangerous direction.

As a result, Foley revealed that he has informed WWE’s talent relations department that he will not be making any appearances for the company as long as Trump remains in office. He also confirmed that he will not be renewing his Legends contract when it expires in June, effectively ending his formal relationship with WWE for the foreseeable future.

Despite the strong stance, Foley was careful to express his appreciation for WWE and his time there. He emphasized his love for the company and gratitude for the opportunities it provided throughout his legendary career. Still, as Foley put it by borrowing a line from Popeye, he has reached his limit. “I stands all I can stands, and I can’t stands no more.”

For now, Foley appears content standing by his principles, even if it means walking away from the company that helped make him a household name in professional wrestling. Whether WWE responds — or if this decision becomes permanent — remains to be seen.
